St. Jude Heroes London 2026 Marathon Fund
In 2013, I ran my first marathon as a St. Jude Hero. In 2015, I did it again. Both times, I carried the names, the stories, and the strength of children fighting for their lives. And those experiences have never left me.
Now, over a decade later, I’m preparing to run my 12th marathon — the 2026 London Marathon — and once again, I’ll be running as a St. Jude Hero. This isn’t just another race for me. This is a full-circle moment: representing an organization that has profoundly shaped my running journey, on one of the world’s most iconic stages.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is changing the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. And families never receive a bill — not for treatment, travel, housing, or food — because all a parent should worry about is helping their child live.
I’ve set an ambitious goal: to raise $10,000 for the kids of St. Jude. Every mile I run — every early training morning, every sore step — is for them. Your donation, no matter the amount, becomes part of that journey.
As one of my favorite quotes says:
“You are truly your own hero in running. It is up to you to have the responsibility and self-discipline to get the job done.”
I'm ready to get the job done — not just for myself, but for something bigger.
Thank you for supporting me, for cheering me on, and for standing with St. Jude.
With gratitude,
Sarah
