Stephen’s story
Stephen Turner is Farleigh’s Finance Director. He is a keen runner and decided to take on this challenge for Farleigh in 2027.
#TeamFarleigh is made up of the incredible runners taking on the 2027 TCS ‘The Double’ London Marathon in support of Farleigh Hospice.
Some have secured one of our charity places and committed to raising at least £2,500. Others are running with their own ballot place, while some have chosen Marathon My Way, completing their virtual challenge on a route closer to home during the same weekend as the London event.
However they’ve joined us, every member of #TeamFarleigh is helping to make a real difference. We’re hugely grateful for the dedication they’ll show over the coming months as they train, fundraise and prepare for marathon weekend on 24 and 25 April 2027.
How we support our team
We know just how demanding marathon training and fundraising can be. That’s why we’re committed to supporting our runners every step of the way, with winter training runs, discounted sports massage, inspiring guest speakers, personalised fundraising materials and more. Whatever support they need, our team is here to help them succeed.
The money our runners raise will help Farleigh continue supporting people across mid Essex who are living with a life-limiting illness and their families.
Breaking records
#TeamFarleigh 2026 revealing their record breaking total
In 2026, our remarkable London Marathon team raised more than £163,000. With the event taking place across two days in 2027, we’re aiming to raise even more.
Follow #TeamFarleigh on our Facebook and Instagram as they train, fundraise and prepare for the challenge ahead. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing their stories, their motivations and the moments that keep them moving towards the finish line.
Fancy joining us?
