London Marathon 2026

Elle’s London Marathon

I'm running the London Marathon 2026 for Asthma + Lung UK, in memory of my Grandad Jim.

Every minute someone is diagnosed with asthma or a lung condition. A&L UK aim to reduce the deaths and ill-health caused by lung conditions by 20% by 2027. A&LUK support people with lung conditions by funding research to find treatments, provide helpline support and self management plans to individuals and petition the government to take lung health seriously. 

I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!

The Marathon Jukebox

Monday 25th Aug
I’m taking on the #LondonMarathon ! 
And I need YOUR help. 

I’m running with Asthma + Lung UK  in memory of my grandad and in support of several family members (including myself) who struggle with Asthma every day. 

I have set up The Marathon Jukebox as a way to raise funds for this amazing charity. I want sponsors to be a part of my marathon journey and what’s a better way than letting them be the DJ of my training runs and race day? 


How it works:

• Go to the sponsorship page & donate £2 (or more if you’d like) 
• In your donation comment, put the name of the artist and song you’d like on the Marathon Jukebox playlist.
• Within 48h your song will be on there and I will be running listening to it.
• Listen along with the Spotify link and share with your friends and colleagues.

Let’s kick this off and be a part of the ultimate soundtrack to the London Marathon

Thank you to my Sponsors

I’d like the song to be I am a Gummy bear (The Gummy Bear song) by Gumminbar. I think it’s a fittingly annoying song.
