Running for a charity is the most rewarding way of running the Flora London Marathon. The Official Charity's for the 2008 race are Spinal Injuries Association and H.E.A.R.T. UK, but there are hundreds of other charities with places that would love your support.

You will find details of some of these charities on this website. In return for one of these guaranteed places they will expect you to raise a pre-agreed amount which will help them in their valuable work. You get a sought-after entry and they get your vital support. Everyone wins!

The charity will normally provide you with a runner support package. This adds a great boost to your motivation to train, as you really won’t want to let them down!

Your chosen charity will do the utmost to look after you from the outset with a complete package to support you throughout both your fundraising and training.

A typical package could include any of the following:

• Fundraising pack including fundraising tips
• Expert training plan
• Running vest or t-shirt
