Meet some our fantastic 2025 Marathon Runners!
Tahlia ran with her cousin in honour of Tahlia’s father Dinesh
“I think this incredible total is all down to Dad. It demonstrates the impact he’s had on people and the lives he’s touched and now all those people want to give back.”
Astrid ran the London Marathon in memory of her husband
“From two weeks after Theo died, St Christopher’s has always been there for us. Through this unbearable journey, they have been our anchor.”
When I got a place, I burst into tears. Shock, joy, wow!
Thirty years after promising that she would emulate her Uncle Chris and complete the London Marathon, Gemma Waro is all set to make good on that pledge.
