The London Marathon

The PBC Foundation has held a golden bond for the Flora London Marathon since 2000 which automatically allows us to enter 5 runners each year.  Places get snapped up very quickly, but if our places are gone, it doesn't mean you can't still run for us! 

You can directly apply through the lottery route of the Marathon application process and we will be there to help you thorough the process.  We support all our runners, covering the costs of their entrance fees, providing sponsorship materials and supplying a PBC Foundation running vest.

The Foundation relies on the support from its members and their family and friends.  By running the marathon and helping to raise funds, you are ensuring that the Foundation can continue its work, supporting sufferers around the world and ensuring it continues to grow.  But, if a marathon is about 25.5 miles too long - don't despair!  There are smaller national fun runs, such as the Hydro Active Women's Challenge that takes place in September each year in London, Birmingham and Liverpool.  The 3 miles (or 5Km), is much more manageable and you can walk, jog or crawl it if you wish!  There are also local events that we at the Foundation may not be aware of.  If there are any running events that you would like to take part in, we will support you and help in your applications wherever we can, and again, we will supply you with sponsorship materials and running vests. 

So if you are feeling all inspired, contact the office., then you can concentrate on your training!!
