Your donation to Boothy's London Marathon 2026


Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, friends, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh at someone else's expense - I’m swapping my suit and tie for running shoes (and maybe even some Lycra) as I prepare to take on the London Marathon on 26th April 2026.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Boothy? Running 26.2 miles? Surely not!” But yes, it’s happening. Fortunately I don’t have a heart-wrenching story or a even life-changing epiphany that’s inspired me to do this. I’m doing it for one simple reason - to raise as much money as I can for two incredible charities: Talk Club and the Baby Bank Alliance.

Talk Club is a fantastic organisation that’s all about supporting men’s mental health, helping us blokes open up and talk about our feelings (because, let’s be honest, we’re not exactly known for being great at that). And the Baby Bank Alliance does amazing work providing essential items to families in need, making sure every baby gets the best possible start in life. These are two causes that I’m proud to support, and I hope you’ll join me in making a difference.

Now, here’s where you come in. I need your help. Not with the running - although I won’t say no to a bit of cheering along the way - but with donations. Every pound you give will not only keep me going when I hit mile 20 and start questioning all my life choices, but it will also go directly to these brilliant charities, helping them continue their vital work.

So, whether you want to support my heroic (or slightly mad) effort, see me cross the finish line in one piece, or just enjoy the thought of me sweating it out, please dig deep and donate to my sponsorship fund. Every little bit helps, and I promise to give it everything - blisters, sweat, and all.

Let’s turn my marathon into something truly meaningful. Click the link to donate, and don’t forget to leave me a message - whether it’s encouragement or a bit of cheeky banter (you know I love that). Together, we can make a real difference for Talk Club and the Baby Bank Alliance.

Thank you for your generosity - and wish me luck! I’ll see you at the finish line, where I’ll be expecting a medal and a very large drink. 🍺🏅

Donate now and help me make my marathon mission a success!
