We’d love to hear your story, as it will give us a chance to understand your reasons for wanting to run the London Marathon for us. Also if you get a place, we’d like to be able to share your story to inspire others to fundraise for Rethink Mental Illness, though we’d never do this without your permission.

The London Marathon is our biggest fundraising event of the year, and so we need each person to raise as much as they can over the minimum of £3,027 (not including Gift Aid).

Each charity place that we buy in races like this costs us money, and while having a presence in races does raise awareness, we need to guarantee each person raises the minimum of £3,027 to make the race a successful endeavour for us, and ensure that we have funds for a team next year.

By signing up to raise money for Rethink Mental Illness, you are committing to raise this amount in full. Should you be unable to achieve your target through your fundraising, you may need to contribute yourself.
