Marie Curie - Charity of the Year

We're thrilled to be the official charity partner for the 2026 TCS London Marathon. It's so important, because there's only one chance to give people the best possible end of life. But every five minutes someone dies without the care they need. Marie Curie wants to fix that. Step by step, we'll do it together. The race is on. Join #TeamMarieCurie today. Marie Curie. With you to the end.
