Can you please support our first time marathon runners, Despina Giannarou and James Duncan? They will be on the start line of the TCS London Marathon on Sunday 26th April 2026 and have committed to raising much-needed funds for our essential work at The Josh Hanson Trust.
Despina said: “As someone who works closely with young people every day, I see the importance of giving them safe spaces, positive role models and hope for their futures – values The Josh Hanson Trust embodies through its incredible work supporting young people affected by violent crime.
“The TCS London Marathon will be by far my biggest running challenge. Please dig deep…and let’s do all we can to create change and leave a legacy of positivity, love and compassion in Josh’s name.”
CEO of TJHT, Tracey Hanson, said: “Having run the London Marathon myself I know how much dedication and commitment it takes to take on such a huge challenge. Whenever someone gave a donation, it helped to spur me on, so please give what you can afford. I know your support and messages of encouragement for James and Despina will help them get to the start line and celebrate afterwards.:
