Tuesday 28 April 2026
Wow! #TeamBDA you totally smashed it! An incredible result from all our London Marathon runners yesterday, completing the iconic course and raising an astonishing 拢26.5K in the process.聽
What an incredible day Sunday was! As ever, the atmosphere was electric and watching #TeamBDA take on the incredible challenge of the London Marathon made us all a little emotional. Completing a marathon is never just about the 26.2 miles on the day; it represents months of dedication, perseverance, and determination.聽
For our runners, taking on the London Marathon was a powerful commitment to supporting individuals with dyslexia across the UK and inspiring others to believe in themselves. We were so proud to be there to cheer them on, and were joined by family, friends and even a corporate supporter or聽two聽-聽special thanks to TPRG for coming to cheer on聽all of聽#TeamBDA!聽
鈥淚t was an honour to represent BDA鈥� - Jose, it was an honour to have you represent us!聽
"I joined #TeamBDA in the London Marathon because the BDA holds an enormous place in my heart. I have had advice from the BDA many times as my son is severely dyslexic. He finds school so hard and I support him as much as possible. I ran the London Marathon to honour my son, on the year he takes his GCSE鈥檚, which he is terrified about 鈥� the knowledge is in his head but he struggles to get it down on paper. I wanted to give something back to the charity as it has helped me a lot with advice" - Faye
Faye, Jose, and the other members of the team, have certainly given so much to our charity, in total a whopping 拢27K so far, and counting. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to support and donate. 聽Days like this remind us of the strength of our community and the impact we can make together. 聽
