On Sunday the London marathon would have raised millions of £s in sponsor money for charities big and small, local and national. Without this annual spotlight many charities are going to struggle to survive. In fact many were in serious trouble anyway.
So the idea is everyone does something on Sunday and/or continuing through the month in support of a charity.
"The Virgin Money London Marathon alone, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event, which raised more than £66.4 million for thousands of charities in 2019."
I am going to cycle on my old excercisebike 26 km (my knee would not allow me to try for 26 miles) and then I will pledge to do 26 mins exercise on bike/run/walk for 26 days in a row.
You could walk for 26 minutes around your flat/garden/yard. Do 26 sit ups. Or Sit downs. Read 26 pages of a book. Hoover for 26 minutes. Anything at all with 2.6 or 26 after the distance of the marathon. It doesn't have to be a massive test of endurance, it is very much the doing that counts and then you can raise money - get someone to pay a fiver perhaps and slowly but surely a few charities will get something back.
Have a look at the website for ideas, how you can register and how you can donate. They already have £1.7m so that is a useful start.
