🏃TCS London Marathon 2026 - own place
Run with Whisper in the TCS London Marathon 🏆 on Sunday 26 April 2026!
This is the page for you if you've already paid for your own place in the London Marathon and you're thinking of fundraising for Whisper, which would be amazing 😍. If you don't have your own place and you want one of our charity places then go here instead.
Whisper offers you a cause where even small donations can be life-changing ✨. We're a very high-impact charity that funds a children's hospital 🏥, a maternity unit 🤰🏾, a free ambulance 🚑 and a nursing school 🎓 in Jinja, Uganda. We run on an annual donation budget of around £250,000. Every £15 donated allows us to treat a child, an average that includes some lengthy inpatient stays 🤒. We estimate that every £364 donated saves a life that would not otherwise have been saved 🧸. Outside Uganda we're entirely staffed by volunteers 💖, helping donations go further.
Let's take a quick tour 👀 of some of the things we do. This is Whisper's hospital; the hospital opened on another site in 2016 and moved to this building in 2018:
This is the ambulance in front of the hospital:
This is one of our operating theatres:
This is our delivery room in the maternity unit:
This is a lecture in our nursing school:
We can offer you:
- personal attention - we're a small organisation 🙏
- no registration fee
- an individual running vest with a wide range of colours to choose from 👕
- a free training app subscription to keep you motivated and help you train safely
- advice and practical help with fundraising
For the running vest and the training app subscription, you will need to reach an intermediate fundraising target to qualify.
I cannot tell you how inspiring this charity is. They do incredible work. I am raising money for Whisper but the support I am getting from them is fantastic. I have never had this before when raising money for charity. a previous runner in the London Marathon
