Personalised NSPCC goodies
You'll receive a charity running vest that you can personalise with your name so your supporters can cheer you on as you run past! We'll also send you a fundraising welcome pack in the post to help you get started with your fundraising.
On average, a child contacts Childline every 45 seconds, and it costs just £4 to answer them.
Raising £600 by running the Paris Marathon could pay for up to 150 children to get the help and support they need from our Childline counsellors.
