Taking on the London Marathon

Titus and Magnus are running the London Marathon in support of Horatio’s Garden. Not natural runners by any stretch, they’re taking on 26.2 miles for their much‑loved brother Horatio, who is missed every day. Alongside them, Robbie, Gus, and Linda will also be taking on the race.

Cameron's story

"I take risks. It's a part of everything I do - paragliding, motorbikes, travelling, adventures all around the world. Something can go wrong at any point. People used to say, 'it’s only a matter of time,' until time caught up."
