Marathon Month: A Remarkable April for Meals & More

April has been nothing short of extraordinary for Meals & More, a month filled with determination, generosity & a shared commitment to making a difference for children & families across the UK.

From iconic race routes to virtual challenges, our supporters have gone above and beyond to turn personal challenges into meaningful impact.

Leading the Way: Landmark Marathon Moments

There was an incredible show of teamwork and resilience at the London Landmarks Half Marathon, where 18 dedicated Sysco colleagues and suppliers took to the streets of the capital.

Together, they raised an outstanding £17,625, a testament not only to their endurance, but to their belief in supporting healthier futures for children.

Hot on their heels, Ashley from Brakes took on the Manchester Marathon, pushing through every mile to raise an impressive £1,475. At the same time, Will from Simply Lunch completed the iconic London Marathon, raising a fantastic £760 in support of our work.

Each step taken, each mile completed & each pound raised represents real change, helping us move closer to a future where every child has access to healthy meals & enriching experiences.

Going the Distance, In Every Corner of the UK

Beyond these headline events, the spirit of Marathon Month extended far & wide.

40+ incredible participants laced up their trainers for the IRN-BRU Virtual Marathon, collectively raising an amazing £5,852 (and counting). Whether running, cycling or walking miles around busy schedules, every participant played a part in something bigger.

Meanwhile in Glasgow, two dedicated supporters from Campbell’s took part in the vibrant Kiltwalk, raising a superb £705 as they walked together in support of Meals & More.

These individual efforts are a brilliant reminder that every step helps create meaningful change.

The Impact

In total, an incredible £26,417 has been raised throughout Marathon Month.

With Gift Aid, an incredible total of £33,021 which will support provision of more than 25,000 healthy meals for children who need them most, enabling access to food, fun & friendship.

A Community United by Purpose

What stands out most from Marathon Month isn’t just the funds raised, though the totals are incredible, it’s the passion, commitment & sense of community behind every effort.

From seasoned runners to first-time challengers, from large corporate teams to individual supporters, each person chose to step forward & make a difference.

Their collective efforts will help Meals & More continue to support communities across the UK, enabling provision of healthy meals & opportunities that help children thrive.

To everyone who ran, walked, fundraised, donated, or cheered from the side-lines, thank you.

Your energy, commitment, and generosity are what make our work possible. Together, we are feeding young futures and building brighter tomorrows.
