We’re expecting 275 runners to take part in this year’s London Marathon, to help raise vital funds for our life-saving research and life-changing care. And you could be there, cheering them on and giving them the encouragement they need to get across the finish line.
As a volunteer, you could help by:
Making lots of noise at one of our cheer points, so ours are the loudest and liveliest
Being there for our runners, with high-fives, hugs, and a happy face
Giving words of encouragement to help our runners power-through to the finish line
What do I get out of it?
- Fun! You’ll have a great time at one of our cheer points.
- The chance to meet new people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
- You’ll get to attend a major sporting event and enjoy the party atmosphere.
How will you support me?
- You’ll get a volunteer handbook, full of useful information about volunteering with us.
- You’ll get a briefing, and ongoing support from the staff team on the day.
- You’ll get a Breast Cancer Now t-shirt, and light refreshments. Sorry, we can’t refund any expenses.
What skills or qualities do I need?
- Bags of enthusiasm!
- The confidence to cheer, shout and make lots of noise.
- Able to quickly connect with and uplift people.
