  Episode 71 - Fundraiser Oliver's super surprise

  Jul 31, 202627 min

  In this episode, Andy and Jo interview our youngest guest on the pod so far: nine-year-old Oliver Smith. Oliver, a keen triathlete, set out to raise funds for The Brain Tumour Charity in January 2026 by running the equivalent of nine marathons in four months. Little did he know then that this would lead to him running with his local MPs, meeting Joe Wicks, completing London's Mini Marathon, being interviewed on TV, going to a film premiere AND meeting his film idols. On 30 July he was treated to The One Show's 'One Big Thank You'. This episode is his backstory. You can read his story on our website here and visit his fundraising page here.

  Episode 69 - Why we're running The London Marathon

  Apr 25, 20261h 6mS3

  A marathon episode for marathon reasons! 136 people are taking part in the TCS London Marathon 2026 to raise funds for The Brain Tumour Charity. We are hugely grateful to every single one of them - but couldn't possibly interview them all. So, some of our Involvement Champions chatted to some of our runners to find out their reasons for running - and we've edited excerpts from those conversations to create this inspiring listen. TW: Bereavement and loss discussed. We hope it does them justice - and maybe some runners will listen to this very episode as they run round. You can read a feature about some of this year's runners on our website by clicking here and find out about how to register for the 2027 event here . Good luck to everyone taking part and to all their supporters cheering them on too!
