We are delighted to share with you that our incredible London Marathon team have raised a fantastic £21,500 – and counting!

Every penny will go towards our vital information, advice and support services for families with disabled children across the UK.

It was a truly fantastic day in the capital. Our 10 dedicated runners joined thousands of participants to complete the iconic course, cheered on by Contact staff and supporters. It was a joy to see their resilience in action. Whether it was their first marathon or one of many, each and every runner gave something extraordinary.

Their fundraising will help Contact continue our mission to ensure families with disabled children feel supported, informed and empowered to live the lives they choose. We couldn’t be more grateful to them!
