Campaign idea: Tess is running the London Marathon
Tess is taking on the London Marathon after a rare disorder diagnosis gave her mother a twelve-month prognosis.
This story
In 2024, Tess's mother was diagnosed with a leukodystrophy and told she might have only twelve months to live. Support from a specialist charity helped the family navigate the uncertainty and arrange care. Her mother is now surrounded by caregivers, and Tess is training to run the London Marathon to raise funds for the charity.
