The London Marathon is only six months away, and our wonderful team of runners is already raring to go!

On Sunday 2 October, our runners will be pounding the pavements of London, going past the city’s most famous landmarks while thousands of supporters cheer them on.

We still have places in this fantastic event, so get in touch if you’d like to join our team and help us make a huge difference to families with disabled children!

One of our runners, Louise, said: “I have chosen Contact as I have used their services, which have been a lifeline for support and advice.  

“My youngest son Harry has a very rare syndrome called PACS1, autism and associated learning disabilities.  He is a joy to our world, and anyone that knows him can see he is an amazing, happy and resilient kid. He does, however, need specialist schooling and most probably lifelong care. The support Contact has given us has been invaluable.

“So, now it is my chance to give something back to this amazing charity, and help as many families with disabled children as possible.”
