25 Runners tackle the 2024 London Marathon for Wooden Spoon

Twenty-five runners take on the London Marathon on Sunday 21 April aiming to raise ten’s of thousands of pounds for Wooden Spoon funded projects, helping children and young people living with disabilities, in deprivation or those disenfranchised. Many are running in memory of lost friends and family, to honour a cause close to those that they have lost, other knowing that their efforts through Wooden Spoon can help others.

Our runners’ efforts and sponsors’ generosity will help children live their best lives- children like Ciaran.

Ciaran, has multiple conditions, including Down’s Syndrome, diabetes, coeliac disease and ASD and ADHD. Ciaran has been supported by a charity project called We Are Beams, in Hextable, Kent.  Wooden Spoon donated £25,000 towards a new sensory playground. The area will make a huge difference to so many children that are sadly unable to enjoy public parks due to their disability or special needs.

Our runners and sponsors’ generosity will help young people live their best lives – young people like Tyler.

Tyler who has been supported by the Amber project, to look forward to future that he might never have had after getting back on his feet after homelessness and drug use.

To help more Ciarans and Tylers please consider rewarding our runners’ generosity of time and training by sponsoring to get over the physical and fundraising finish lines.
