  • Minimum sponsorship: there is no target, just raise what you can. Every penny will help make a difference to the children and young people we support.

Winston’s Wish and Child Bereavement UK are merging to strengthen the support available for bereaved children, young people, parents and families across the UK. In the coming weeks, Winston’s Wish will change its name to Child Bereavement UK. By taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival you will still be raising money to support grieving children, young people and families, but the charity you will be fundraising for will be called Child Bereavement UK.

  • A welcome email and fundraising pack
  • A branded top to wear on the day
  • Support from our dedicated team to help you achieve your target
  • Additional fundraising resources upon request
