TCS London Marathon Charity Places

​​​

​​We were fortunate enough to secure ONE charity ballot place in the 2025 TCS London Marathon (for our 30th anniversary year) and we are delighted to have secured ONE charity ballot place in the 2026 TCS London Marathon too!

​

On the 27th April 2025, SWASFT Emergency Care Assistant, George Medcalf completed the famous 26.2 mile course with over 65,000 other runners. It's an epic challenge! The route takes in many of London's best landmarks including Buckingham Palace, The Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf.

​

George also raised over £4,000 for our charity, which was absolutely phenomenal! You can still donate to support him at George Medcalf is fundraising for South Western Ambulance Charity.​​​​​​​

​​

According to George;

"I always wondered if I could do it, if I could run a marathon and it was exciting to finally get the opportunity to do it".
"The whole journey has been brilliant".
"I have thoroughly enjoyed running the London Marathon for the Charity. It has been an amazing experience".
Looking forward to 2026, George said; "It will be magical for whoever gets the opportunity".
