Hi, I'm Chloe – and in 2026, I'm running the London Marathon in support of an incredible charity: PHAB. I’ve been running for about 18 months now, and I still remember when the idea of running a marathon felt about as likely as flying to the moon. But here I am, somehow lacing up for the 2026 London Marathon, equal parts exhilarated and terrified, and doing it for a cause I truly believe in.

I’m running to support Phab, an incredible charity that creates inclusive experiences for disabled and non-disabled children, young people and adults across the UK. Whether it’s clubs, activity days or residential adventures, Phab helps thousands of people find joy, confidence and connection, the kind of opportunities that can be life-changing, but are often hard to find.

26.2 miles will definitely hurt. But if it helps support even one person to feel seen, included and empowered, then every step is worth it.

If you can, please consider donating. Every pound makes a difference, and your generosity will help Phab continue their brilliant work, changing lives one adventure at a time.

About PHAB

Phab is a UK charity that champions inclusion, opportunity, and friendship for people of all abilities. Since 1957, Phab has brought together children, young people and adults — with and without disabilities — to enjoy life side by side, building friendships through inclusive experiences that celebrate what we can all do, not what we can’t.

Across the UK, Phab supports a network of local clubs and organises accessible activity breaks that give members the chance to try things they might never have imagined — from zip-lining and canoeing to drama workshops, team sports and creative arts. These experiences help build confidence, independence, and joy in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Every donation helps to create moments that matter — whether it’s a teenager with additional needs conquering a climbing wall for the first time, or a young person finding their voice and new friends through a shared adventure. Your support keeps Phab’s vital work going, helping thousands of people feel valued, included, and empowered to thrive.
