The London Marathon is Back! Run for Mercy, Run for Lives

The streets of London are alive again! Thousands of runners. Cheering crowds. An energy that inspires millions. And this year, you can be part of it – running not just for yourself, but to change the lives of those in need. Every stride is a leap of faith. When you run for Penny Appeal, you’re running for the child who walks miles for clean water, for the mother praying for relief, for families holding onto faith in their hardest times.

As our beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “The most beloved people to Allah are those who bring the most benefit to others.” With every mile, you become that benefit. Every drop of sweat becomes Sadaqah, every stride becomes a lifeline. This isn’t about timing or records. It’s about showing up. It’s about turning your effort, your endurance, and your heart into real, lasting change. And somewhere out there, someone whose life you touch will make dua for you.
