Meet Team SSW: taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Sight Support Worthing

We’re incredibly proud to introduce our team of six runners who are gearing up to take on the London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday 12th April 2026; a unique and iconic 13.1-mile challenge through the heart of the capital. Our team consists of Carol, Adam, Gary, Evan, SSW Member Kombo and Guide Runner Warwick.

This isn’t just any half marathon – the route winds past some of London’s most famous sights, from Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London to the London Eye and The Shard, offering runners a view of the city’s skyline like no other.

For our runners, this experience is about more than personal achievement; it’s an opportunity to raise vital funds and awareness for Sight Support Worthing and the work we do supporting people affected by sight loss across our community.

Why our runners are taking part

Each member of Team SSW has their own reason for signing up, from personal fitness goals to fundraising for a cause close to their heart. What unites them is a shared desire to make a difference and support others.

As they train in the run-up to race day, they need your support. Sponsorship helps cover the cost of their race places and ensures every pound raised goes further towards the services we deliver each week, from social connection and practical support to wellbeing activities that reduce isolation and build confidence.

Support our team: make every mile count

We’re asking members of the SSW family – supporters, volunteers, friends and local businesses – to back our runners by sponsoring them via our GivenGain page. Your donation, big or small, will contribute to making a real impact. You can find the SSW team’s fundraising page here: https://www.givengain.com/campaign/ssw–llhm.

Whether it’s a pound per mile or a one-off gift, your support will encourage our runners as they take on this special event and help ensure our charity can continue to be there for people living with sight loss.

Thank you!
