We're delighted to report that we have a runner in this year's London Marathon. New member Tosin Adebanjo contacted us to say he had got a place in the ballot and could he fundraise for the KC Group. Below is his statement on his fundraising page and a link to the page. We hope all our members will support him and contribute as much as they can. And maybe we can organise a meet-up somewhere along the route to cheer Tosin on? We're hugely grateful to Tosin and wish him all the very best with his training and for the big day!
"I’m running the London Marathon 2026 for the Keratoconus Group because keratoconus has been part of my life for the past 15 years. Living with the condition has brought daily challenges, from changes in vision and ongoing treatment to the emotional impact of adapting to something that affects such a fundamental sense as sight. Over time, it has also taught me resilience, patience, and the value of both medical and personal support.
The Keratoconus Group plays a vital role in raising awareness and providing information and support to those living with keratoconus. By taking on this marathon, I want to give something back and help ensure others affected by the condition feel informed, supported, and less alone.
This marathon is a huge personal challenge for me, but it’s one I’m proud to take on—not just for myself, but for everyone living with keratoconus.

Thank you very much for your support of both me and the Keratoconus Group".

Re: London Marathon
Come and support Tosin, our Marathon runner. Meet up outside Temple tube station at 12.30 on Sunday 26th to join the group cheering him on as he runs past. There's always a great atmosphere all along the route, so come and join in the fun! And if you can't be there on the day, please show your support to Tosin's fundraising effort by adding your donation.
