On Sunday 12 April 2026, a fantastic group of fundraisers took on the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of Lifelites, raising an amazing £4,000 to help children with life-limiting conditions across Britain and Ireland.
Why our runners chose Lifelites
The London Landmarks event has grown into one of the premier half-marathons in the country since it started in 2018. Thousands of runners of all abilities and ages took part this year, making it the most popular to date.
Running through the iconic streets of London, our incredible team conquered the 13.1-mile challenge. In doing so, they helped to change lives. Their incredible effort will ensure more children in palliative care have access to assistive technology that gives them the opportunity to communicate, play, and engage with the world around them in ways that would otherwise be impossible.
Cathy Talbot looked back on the event:
“Race day was something special! Meeting the team beforehand and seeing them out on the course, cheering us, gave me such a boost. Lifelites is an extraordinary charity, one that genuinely care about its fundraisers and the journey they go on.”
Richard Hill shared what motivated him to take part:
“The motivation was to push myself into a new challenge. Running for a charity that I’ve supported before is a fantastic feeling and I’ve got a plan now to go for a 50k challenge to push myself again and raise some more awareness and funds.”
James Rondel also shared what motivated him to take part:
“It was a privilege to be able to take part in the event on behalf of Lifelites and to raise money for such a good cause. It really is rewarding to know that the funds will go to a very worthy charity indeed and help improve the lives of children with life limiting conditions.”
The impact of your donation
We are so grateful to all the friends, family and colleagues who sponsored James, Will, Cathy, Richard and Nicole. Every pound donated helps us continue to provide life-changing technology to children with life-limiting conditions and their families, giving them a chance to create precious memories together.
