Meet our runners!
” Hi, I am Laura and I am a CFR in Hampshire. I started running in 2022 after wanting to change my lifestyle. My journey started with me walking around the house to increase my steps before joining my local Parkrun. I continue to regularly run on a Saturday with my Parkrun buddies but have found a new love for running. So after completing various 5km and 10km races I wanted to really challenge myself and running TCS London Marathon allows me to do that. Of course as a CFR I also know the importance of South Central Ambulance Charity and so to be able to not only achieve my personal ambition but also support this charity is brilliant. “
“I have a very strict (laminated!) training plan which includes continuing Parkrun but also Gosport Half Marathon and longer runs around my local areas so come April 2026 I will be ready to face the challenge of TCS London Marathon.”
“To support my fundraising goal this December I have been selling personalised Christmas Wreaths and decorating Christmas Trees with more to come in the New Year”

Hi I am Luke and I am Specialist Practitioner for South Central Ambulance Service. I have watched the TCS London Marathon on the TV for years and always been amazed at not only those runners completing it but learning more about the Charities they are doing it for. I would consider myself a leisure runner – up to now! Running TCS London Marathon is a new and personal goal !”
“However the main driver for me doing this is to support South Central Ambulance Charity. I know first hand how vital our volunteers are not only to our service but to their local communities. In my job I have come across many of our CFRs who have started treatment, supported patients, and kept families calm. For them to do this in their own time is amazing!”
“My fundraising includes raffles and cake days in the office – and then getting everyone to join me on a training run!”

“Hi I am Simon and I am a CFR in Hampshire. I run three times a week running between 5-7km each time and every Saturday run a half marathon. I have created a structured training plan which will take me from 8th December to TCS London Marathon day – a lot of lonely rainy runs ahead! I wanted to complete a marathon before a big birthday and I will achieve this with 6 months to spare!”
“As a CFR I know how vital this volunteering role is, especially in rural areas. I am being supported by my CFR scheme with fundraising efforts and we will be heading out into the local community.”
“My daughter and I ran the Bournemouth Half Marathon in October – raising money and also training at the same time!”
