Manda’s Marathon Challenge

Preparations are well underway for PSDS member Manda’s participation in the 2026 TCS London Marathon. On Sunday 26th April, Manda will be amongst a field of more than 50,000 runners taking on the iconic 26.2 mile course which features many famous London’s landmarks. Running the London Marathon has been a long-held ambition. This year, after entering a record breaking public ballot of over 1.13 million hopefuls, Manda’s dream will come true. We asked Manda about her motivation, “I’m running to raise money for PSDS as you’ve given us a great support network since having Jess and Jack. Not only did Jack attend Digbies – a fantastic pre-school group where he got therapy sessions he wouldn’t have got through the NHS – I met families in the same situation as us and made some friends who I know will be friends for life. I’m so excited to be taking part in the Marathon this year and running for such a great cause.”

We can’t wait to hear how you get on Manda – we’ll be cheering you on for every stride!
