Take on the London Landmarks Half Marathon for GOSH Charity
Jane, 2025 London Landmarks Half Marathon runner
“ Running the LLHM was a brilliant experience from start to finish - I started running only two years ago and had never run the distance before, but I trusted in my 12-week training plan and lots of advice from my much more experienced running friends"
"The day itself was hard work as expected, but a lot more fun than I expected! I was quite nervous and took my headphones in case I needed the motivation, but I barely listened to any of my own music as the route was packed with supporters, bands and choirs and most importantly, all the cheer stations of the different charities. Obviously the GOSH Charity cheer station was the best(!) and I actually speeded up after seeing them and my family and friends nearby"
"I was running because GOSH is a cause very close to my heart as they have looked after my son for his whole life. I was so happy to be able to raise money for such a good cause. The team at GOSH Charity were really supportive and encouraging throughout the whole experience“
How your support will help children with cancer
This year, we hope to raise over £340,000 at the 2026 London Landmarks Half Marathon to help build the new Children's Cancer Centre at GOSH.
GOSH already cares for children with the hardest to treat cancers, and new treatments are giving hope to children and their families. But these advances have outstripped GOSH's current cancer facilities.
We need a new home for breakthrough treatments and pioneering research, so we can save more children's lives. And because cancer shouldn't get to steal anyone's childhood, we need a place that's more than a hospital – a place that's a school, a playground, a garden, and so much more.
That's why we're building a world-leading, child focused Children's Cancer Centre, where more children can have the best chance and the best childhood possible.
Together, we can build it. Together, we can help beat childhood cancer.
