£11,000+ raised by Team BRACE at London Marathon
A whopping £11,043 was raised (including gift aid) at the London Marathon by our inspiring #TeamBRACE runners.
Thank you so much for your amazing fundraising efforts. Training for a marathon is no easy challenge, and to do this while raising vital funds for dementia research is an incredible achievement.
Your dedication and generosity will help fund life-changing dementia research. From all of us at BRACE, thank you and congratulations on such an outstanding achievement!
Emilie ran for BRACE in the 2026 London Marathon:
"My first marathon, you were a dream! One year ago I attempted to go out for a run to try and lift the dark clouds of medical menopause, brought on by my endometriosis medication. I couldn't even finish two miles and spent most of it walking and if you would have told me one year later I'd be running 26 miles, I would have never of believed you.
Running has lifted those grey clouds more than I could have imagined. I've made so many new friends and the most important thing, I've been able to raise nearly £3000 for the incredible BRACE Dementia Research in memory of my Nan, Elaine. During the marathon people next to me started cheering for a runner called Elaine, the crowd literally erupted and it felt like a sign that she really was there with me."
Fancy taking on a similar challenge? There are opportunities all year round to race for BRACE and help support dementia research.
