Team Ted Foundation

Run the London Marathon for Team Ted

In 2025, Ben, Teddy’s uncle, alongside Amanda, one of our trustees and Ted’s school headteacher, took on the incredible challenge of running the London Marathon in immense heat. Their determination and commitment was truly inspiring, and together they raised a staggering amount that we are so grateful for. Every penny raised goes directly towards funding our vital work – supporting families affected by childhood cancer, providing emergency grants for medical expenses, funding specialist equipment, and creating precious memory-making opportunities for families during the most difficult times of their lives.

 

London Marathon Team Ted Foundation

For 2026, we’ve managed to secure a small number of charity places for the London Marathon. We’re currently taking applications for some brave runners to take on this life-changing challenge and continue the incredible legacy that Ben and Amanda have started. This is your chance to be part of something truly meaningful while achieving a personal milestone that will stay with you forever.
