Sarah took on the challenge of running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for LDN London and raised over £450. Before taking part in this event Sarah enjoyed running but this was her first big event taking on the challenge of completing a half marathon.
“This was a fantastic event to be involved in. The atmosphere was amazing and the support from LDN London was fantastic. There was a team standing along the route to cheer me on and to meet me at the finish line. I am so proud that I was able to complete the half marathon and raise vital funds to support people with learning disabilities.”
Sarah is now in training to take on the Brighton Marathon in 2024 and raise funds for our partner charity Kids Can Achieve.
Maida Vale School have been supporting us over the past year and recently the parents held a quiz night to raise funds for our LDN Community Hub. The event was a huge success raising £7k. We are very thankful for the support of the students, parents and staff at Maida Vale School. The school have also supported us with non-uniform days and students volunteer at our LDN Community Hub as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award.
“We got together as a group of parents to support LDN London, a local charity that pupils from the School are volunteering with. The fundraiser took the format of a charity quiz evening, which was a huge success— such a fun way to spend an evening whilst simultaneously raising much needed funds to continue the incredible work in supporting people with learning disabilities and their families that Laurence and his team are committed to.”

Luke, aged 5, read 36 books in a day as part of the 3.6 challenge. Although he does not really like reading, he wanted to raise money for us and challenge himself. He read from the moment he woke up until going to sleep and raised an amazing £600 for LDN.
Luke said, “I really enjoyed doing this challenge. It was really hard, and I had to read all day, but I did it!”
