On Sunday 26 April, a squad of 43 runners took on the TCS London Marathon 2026 to raise money for The Children’s Trust, the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury and neurodisability.

The Children’s Trust Squad joined nearly 60,000 runners who completed the iconic 26.2 mile course through the capital, cheered on by family, friends, staff, volunteers, and thousands of spectators. The vital funds raised will help us continue to support children with a brain injury and neurodisability by delivering specialist rehabilitation, education and community services to help children and families rebuild their lives.
