London Landmarks Half Marathon

On Sunday 6 April, five brave individuals stepped up to the challenge of the London Landmarks Half Marathon, running proudly for The Brightwell!

The London Landmarks Half Marathon is famous for its stunning route that winds past some of the city's most iconic sights.

Libby, Becky, Nic, Hope, and Robbie took on the challenge running in support of The Brightwell. Not only did all five smash their personal time goals, but they also exceeded their fundraising targets - together raising an incredible £3,763!

Libby after running the Half Marathon

Libby, who manages a local gym, has been a long-time supporter of The Brightwell and decided to combine her passion for the charity with a personal challenge. The buzzing crowds, including her proud parents cheering from the side lines, gave her a big boost on the day. Her efforts paid off - she raised a fantastic £760!

The experience has left her feeling inspired, and she’s already on the lookout for her next race.

Ultra Marathon Runner Robbie also ran for us as training for his next big race! He raised an amazing £658 for the Centre.

Becky during the Half Marathon

Becky's twin sister Lucy is a member of the Centre and attends for Oxygen Therapy. Becky really wanted to give back to the Centre for the support provided to her sister, so took on the challenge of the Half Marathon and raised £1,110. Becky smashed her fundraising target and exceeded her expected running time.

Lara, The Brightwell’s Events and Marketing Officer, was there to cheer on her mum, Nic, and friend, Hope, as they ran to support the Centre, raising an impressive £1,233. The Brightwell has been a part of their lives for many years - Lara’s aunt was a member during the charities early days in Nailsea and continued her involvement after its move to Bradley Stoke, making this fundraising challenge all the more meaningful. The race day was filled with sunshine, smiles, and plenty of Brightwell flag-waving among a sea of charities, making it a truly memorable occasion.
