Celebrating 15 years of... Lily sports events!

Over the last 15 years you’ve raised an incredible amount of money for The Lily Foundation through a whole host of sporting achievements. From getting fit to keeping fit, from raising money to raising awareness, hats off to everyone who’s run, walked, sprinted, jogged, swum, cycled, boxed, climbed up mountains, climbed down mountains, completed obstacle courses, played golf, bungee jumped, zip lined, sailed, even leapt out of an aeroplane – every one of you deserves a medal!

We wouldn’t be where we are today without your support. Thank you.

50 fundraisers smash six-figure sum at London Marathon

It may have been a soggy one at this year’s London Marathon, but the rain didn’t dampen the spirits of our 50 fabulous racers, who raised an incredible total of over £117,000. We had more dedicated runners supporting our charity than ever before, so read all about the race and the post-run celebrations, and sign up now for your chance to be part of something very special next year. But hurry – those precious places are filling up fast!

Couple aim for new heights in remarkable fundraising journey

May is National Walking Month, and two people feeling the benefit of all that fresh air and exercise are Ami and Danny, who lost their baby son, Otto, to mito when he was only 4 months old. Since that tragic day this inspiring couple have been on a fundraising journey in his memory that has already seen them raise over £38,000 for Lily. And they'll be reaching new heights this bank holiday weekend by summiting the highest mountain in Wales.

And now it's your turn...

Picture the scene: 60,000 fellow runners, a warm Geordie welcome, an iconic bridge, a city centre start and a seaside finish, Sir Mo Farah in his last professional race ever… and you! Yes, you could be limbering up on the start line for this year’s Great North Run which takes place on Sunday 10th September. But you’ll need to be quick – we have only two guaranteed places left for the biggest, most iconic half marathon in the world. Sign up now to fight mito, experience a magical event and become one of our sporting heroes.
