Introducing Ally: Our Champion Runner Taking on the 2026 London Marathon!
Published on 19 November 2025 01:31 PM
We are thrilled to announce that Ally will be running the incredible 2026 TCS London Marathon to raise vital funds for Age UK Tunbridge Wells! This is one of the world’s most iconic running events, and Ally is taking on the immense challenge of 26.2 miles to support older people right here in the Tunbridge Wells borough.
The funds Ally raises will be crucial for our independent local charity, directly supporting essential services like our Befriending, Day Care, and Information & Advice that are here to reduce loneliness and promote independence in Tunbridge Wells.
"In April 2026, I’ll be lacing up my trainers and taking on the iconic London Marathon – all 26.2 miles of it - in support of Age UK Tunbridge Wells, a charity that means a great deal to me.
Every day, Age UK Tunbridge Wells makes a real difference to the lives of older people in our community. From tackling loneliness and isolation to providing essential support services, their work is vital - and deeply personal to me.
This marathon is more than just a physical challenge. It’s a chance to give back to an organisation that uplifts and cares for some of the most vulnerable members of our society. I’m proud to be running in their name. - Ally
