Emma’s Fundraising Story
Emma, a 29-year-old psychologist from Australia, ran the 2024 London Marathon to support UK Youth, a cause close to her heart. With six years of experience in youth mental health, Emma believes in providing all young people with the opportunity to reach their full potential.
“I wanted to fundraise for UK Youth because their work truly resonates with me. Everyone deserves access to support, and UK Youth makes that possible for young people across the UK,” Emma said after completing the marathon in 4 hours and 35 seconds.
Emma’s first marathon was a personal challenge, but her motivation to raise over £2,000 for UK Youth kept her focused. “It was such a privilege to run for a cause that helps young people thrive,” she shared.
Her experience shows that fundraising for UK Youth isn’t just about completing a physical challenge—it’s about making a real difference in the lives of young people.
Join Emma and others in supporting UK Youth through fundraising. Together, we can help more young people achieve their full potential.
