2026 London Marathon
Congratulations to our first ever team of London Marathon runners! It was a beautiful sunny day on Sunday 26 April which was great conditions for spectators but not for runners so we’re delighted that all 13 runners completed the marathon – we’re very proud of this fantastic achievement
To learn more about our runners see below:
Pete Aitken, a dad from Surrey and his son Matt ran the London Marathon in memory of their daughter and sister Hannah.
Hannah Aitken took her own life in 2023 at the age of 22, and her family, dad Pete, mum Amanda and brother Matt, have campaigned ever since to protect young people like her from the harms that led to her death.
Pete wanted to run the London Marathon to give back to Molly Rose Foundation for the support he and his family have received.
He said: “Without Molly Rose Foundation, Hannah would have just been another statistic. They made it possible for us to raise awareness about the harms that led to Hannah’s death.”
Amy, Olivia, Ben, and Joe are fundraising as a Team from Forest House.
Pete and Matt are father and son running in memory of Hannah, their daughter and sister.
Malachy, Eoin, Cian, Miles, and Paul are fundraising together as a Team from Carne Group.
Alice and Rebecca are running in memory of their sister Molly.
Applications to join our 2027 team are now closed, if you’re interested in running the marathon for us in 2028 keep an eye on our website and socials for updates.
If you’ve been lucky enough to secure a place in the 2027 Marathon through the TCS London Marathon ballot you can still join our Molly Rose Foundation team and Run for Molly.
To join our team with your own space contact us at supportercare@mollyrosefoundation.org.
As part of our London Marathon team we’ll support you with fundraising resources, a running vest, running tips and opportunities to connect with other team runners.
If you didn’t get a place this year there are still lots of other ways to support us!
