London Marathon 2024 for World Jewish Relief
Jonathan Kushner
My Story
The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981. Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace.
What’s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity in support of the race's mission ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.
I am running to support World Jewish Relief, a charity inspired by Jewish values that provides life-saving and life-changing action to people in crisis around the world, including the war in Ukraine and natural disasters. This is personal for me. My mother is a second generation Holocaust survivor and my father greatly supported her work and humanitarian causes before his passing last February. I would like to continue the tradition while going for my 4th Star in the World Marathon Majors!
