London Marathon 2027 · Fundraising for Mind in memory of Anthony 💜
♥ Running for mental health

Every mile
has a meaning.

I'm Laura, and I'm taking on the London Marathon 2027 to raise money for Mind in memory of my brother, Anthony. This is my journey - the training, the tough days, the little wins, and the reason behind every step.

Every donation, share and word of encouragement means so much. Thank you for being part of this.

My reason why

This is about more than running.

In 2027, I'll be taking on the London Marathon to raise funds for Mind in memory of my brother, Anthony - Ant to those who knew him.

I've set myself a huge challenge, and the training won't always be easy. But every mile is a chance to honour Ant, help raise awareness of mental health, and support a charity that works to make sure no one has to face a mental health problem alone.

This website is where I'll share the journey honestly: the progress, the setbacks, the fundraising events and all the moments in between. Thank you for being here and supporting the reason behind my run.

Why Mind matters

Every step helps support mental health.

Mind provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. With your help, this challenge can contribute to that important work.

Remembering Ant

This challenge is a way for me to honour my brother's memory and turn something deeply personal into support for others.

Talking matters

Mental health deserves understanding, compassion and open conversations - without judgement or shame.

Making a difference
