Project Rhino
After years of thinking about it, I decided 2026 was the year to take on the Two Oceans Marathon on April 11th. It is a scenic 56km run through beautiful Cape Town, passing the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. I am running it as a personal challenge, but also want to use it as an opportunity to raise funds for Project Rhino.

Emma Gray
Running Miles for Smiles
I had that same gift growing up, and watching my girls thrive because of it has made me realize just how much it matters. But not every child gets that chance. That's why this September and November, I'm running the BMW Berlin Marathon and the TCS New York City Marathon in support of Camp Shriver, and I'm asking for your help.

Alysia and Dana
Two Friends. One Summit. One Purpose.
What started as a shared love of wellness, hiking, and outdoor adventure has grown into a friendship built on pushing limits and finding purpose through challenge. Now, we’re taking on our biggest adventure yet!

Jennifer Schwartz
Supporting Hope and Healing
This September, I will run my 53rd full marathon, my fourth World Major Marathon, and the second time I have had the honor of running in support of High Watch Recovery Center, the world’s first 12-step treatment center.

Nicole Carnevale
Racing for a Cure
Hi! I'm running the 2026 Chicago Marathon to raise money for StacheStrong, a nonprofit committed to raising funds and awareness for brain cancer and glioblastoma (GBM) research. My mom's mom, Viola (whose photos are featured on this page), passed away too soon from GBM before I was born.

Beckett’s Boys
Mental Health World Cup 2026
I’m excited to share that we are raising funds for the Mental Health World Cup! This amazing charity uses the power of football to promote mental well-being and help prevent suicide. Not only is this a great cause, but one that hit hard when a friend took his own life. This is in memory of our good friend Richard Beckett.

Tim Childs
Support Mental Wellbeing
Hi everyone! I'm excited to start my fundraising journey for CPSL Mind. This incredible charity supports people in our community by providing services and programs that promote recovery and positive mental health. By donating, you'll help empower individuals to embrace their strengths and support one another.

Costanza Drago
Fundraising for Safe, Inclusive Social Spaces
For those who know my family story, you’ll understand why this matters so much to me. My brother is neurodivergent, and while he is an amazing person, navigating a world that moves so fast can often feel overwhelming and scary for him. That experience opened my eyes to how important understanding, support, and safe spaces truly are.

Dominic Norrish
Support Kidney Health
Hi everyone! I'm excited to launch my fundraising campaign for Kidney Care UK, an incredible charity dedicated to supporting individuals affected by kidney health issues. Whether you're directly impacted or know someone who is, this organization provides essential resources and information about treatment options, including dialysis and transplants.

Kyra Radbourne
Helping keep our family close to Nate
Now the reason the sick children’s trust is so greatly important to me is because they are the reason my parents have been able to stay by my brothers side and not forced to leave him! Until this unfortunate accident I’d never heard of this charity but I will forever be in debt for everything they’ve done for us all.

Colin Gerner
Join the Fight Against Brain Cancer
I’ve poured my heart and soul into StacheStrong for 8 years. It all started with two brothers doing whatever they could after learning of GJ’s GBM diagnosis. Since then, it’s transformed into supporting countless individuals, families and communities…oh ya, and $6M of brain cancer research funded. It’s been quite a journey - one that I still say is just getting started.

Kelli Rogers
Help Fund Trauma Therapy for Children
Chad and I were at the Boston Marathon in 2013, when the explosions occurred. We saw the sights, sounds, and horrors of many who were injured and impacted by the terrorist attack that day; including Rebekah- the Founder of this incredible Charity. I always wondered what happened to the injured that day and reconnecting with Rebekah and her Cause became very personal to my family and I.

Jeremy Willner
Help support YES in pursuit of my 6th World Marathon Major!
Having the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon would be something a little different. Holding that BAA medal, and with it the Abbott 6th Star medal, would be two physical reminders of how far I've come, what I’ve done, and how I’ve grown.

Ross Stirling
Peace Run 2026: London Marathon
Hi everyone! I am excited to share my fundraising journey for War Child in 2026. Returning to running this year after many different challenges, starting with the London Marathon.... with a twist.

Danielle Lubbe
A World Record attempt
In February 2026 I will be running a 2160km relay from the northernmost to the southernmost point of South Africa, in just 9 days. A world-record attempt…but more importantly, a mission. I talk a lot about how running has changed my life. It’s what carried me through some of the hardest seasons of my life, and now I get to use the thing that saved me, to help children who need saving too.

Siya Mfanta
Siya Runs Again – For the Horses Who Can’t
Every marathon Siya Mfanta has run since last year has been a heartfelt mission to champion the welfare of Cape Town’s working horses and donkeys. He’s now getting ready to hit the 42.2km Cape Town Marathon because for him it’s about keeping the momentum going so that these animals don’t have to suffer.

Chasing Adam
An African Adventure
Wheels for Waves - I will begin my journey in Cape Town in 2024, cycling, unsupported, for 2 years around the perimeter of the African Continent.

Sarah Tully
Go liver!
The four of us are so excited to be joining forces again to run the 2026 Boston Marathon in support of the American Liver Foundation, as advocates for live organ donation, and in celebration of some very special triumphs against liver disease that have touched all of our lives.

Annie Griffiths
I’m running the London Marathon to support UK Youth!
This April, I’m running the London Marathon to support UK Youth. I’m not a big runner and have only done one half-marathon, so training will be tough, especially in the winter, but if I’m running a marathon, it has to be London. I’ve worked at the event before and know how challenging it is!

Charl Marais
Cycling for Second Chances
This year, I’m taking on my first Cape Town Cycle Tour, and I’m celebrating the occasion by raising funds for the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, South Africa’s oldest animal welfare organization. I’m riding with the hope that every kilometre I pedal brings an animal closer to a happy home. My own cats, Storm and Neptune (both rescues themselves) will be cheering me on!

Eduard Malan
Running for a Cure
I am running the 2026 London Marathon - my first ever marathon - to support Alzheimer’s Research UK, a cause that is deeply personal to me. I am also incredibly grateful that my wife will be running the marathon alongside me, sharing the training highs and lows as we take on this journey together.
