Thank you to our London marathon runners!

#TeamNCT did a superb job, raising £15,000 to help support parents. Fancy doing it yourself next year? Find out how you can take part in the iconic race.

NCT would like to say a great big thank you to the seven wonderful runners who took part in the TCS London Marathon on a very rainy Sunday last month. Our runners have raised over £15,000, which will go towards supporting expectant and new parents across the United Kingdom and Channel Islands.

Here’s why our runners took part:

  • Karen is one of our fantastic antenatal practitioners.
  • Becky is a keen runner, who wanted to support NCT after receiving support from the charity when she had her first child over 17 years ago.
  • Emmanuelle took up running at 50 years old and wanted to fundraise for NCT, who she felt prepared and supported her after her birth of her son Dylan (who recently turned 21)!
  • Kelly wanted to run for NCT after attending one of our Early Days courses following the birth of her first son.
  • Lauren’s nephew was born seven weeks early and she found the support her sister received at the time of his birth was invaluable.
  • Emilie is a midwife and passionate about the support NCT provides for new parents.
  • Alan was due to take part in the 2022 event but had to withdraw due to an injury. He then went on to take part in the Brighton Marathon in early April before taking on London.

We cannot thank our runners enough.

Take part in 2024!
