London Landmarks – half the run but twice the fun!

If your name didn’t come out of the hat for next year’s London Marathon, don’t despair – why not grab a place at the London Landmarks Half Marathon instead? Ok, it’s only 13 miles rather than 26, but think of it as half as much training and twice as much fun and fundraising!

Taking place on 7th April 2024, it’s a fascinating run past some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks and historic locations, and we’ll be there on the sidelines to cheer you on. And when you cross that finish line, you’ll be rewarded with a fabulous finisher’s medal too.

But hurry – places are limited and they’re filling up fast!

Lily Italian Night, 10th October 2023

For an altogether more relaxing way to fundraise, come along to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the Lily Italian Night at Bagatti’s restaurant in Croydon. An informal evening of fine food, wine, live music and dancing, with some fabulous raffle prizes and auction items up for grabs, tickets are just £40.50, and Bagatti’s will donate £15 from each ticket to The Lily Foundation to help us keep fighting mito.

Ultra Challenge events, various UK locations and dates

For those who prefer to get out into the countryside rather than treading on tarmac, these endurance challenges offer you the opportunity to walk, jog or run through some of Britain’s most stunning scenery, and there are even options overseas. Not for the faint-hearted, they cover distances up to 100km and are an incredible way to push yourself to reach new limits.

Tandem skydive, various UK locations and dates

Or maybe running’s not your thing, and you’d rather leap out of a plane at 10,000 feet instead? It’s certainly something you’ll never forget! Now’s your chance to make it happen, whilst helping patients and families affected by mito. You don’t need any experience and, even better, if you raise the minimum sponsorship you’ll receive your skydive for free!
