The biggest congratulations to everyone who conquered today’s @LondonMarathon , but especially to Ben, Zoe, Warren, George, Robert, Tim, James, Lewis, Virat and Maisie for joining #TeamDeafblindUK and raising over £22,000 to help the thousands of people we support to live better with sight and hearing loss. We’re incredibly proud and grateful for the hours of training and fundraising that will make such a huge difference to our members. Together, you’ve made memories that will last far longer that the sunburn and jelly legs! Don’t forget, this could be you next year! To bag your place on the London Marathon 2026 start line, apply for one of our charity places now -deafblind.org.uk/run-the-tcs…
