Charlie Beecroft

TCS London Marathon 2025

Why The Air Ambulance

As some as you are aware this charity is very close to a lot of our hearts for numerous reasons. For me I lost my best mate over 11 years ago and the Air Ambulance did everything they could and went above and beyond but sadly Craig didn’t make it. 

Craig Botting was one in a million, a best friend, talented sportsman, loving family man, always smiling and there when you needed, did the best/worst impressions you could ever imagine. He always put a smile on your face no matter how you were feeling, he was selfless and caring. I know you are never forgotten and still loved by so many.

I wanted to do something in Craig’s name and push myself mentally and physically and raise as much as I can for this incredible charity. 

Please donate what ever you can 

Thank you 


I'm running to help save lives in London

London’s Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most seriously injured patients. Your donation will help save more lives by keeping the helicopter in the air and the rapid response cars on the road, ready for when they are needed most. By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, London’s Air Ambulance Charity aims to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.

I will be taking part in the TCS London Marathon 2025 running with the London's Air Ambulance Charity Team. Please give what you can to help save lives in London.

Charlie, this is an incredible thing you're doing. Both a personal journey and selfless one. Wishing you the best of luck with it from someone who never thought he could run a marathon...until he did, this was the advice I was given. “There will be days you don't think you can run a marathon. There will be a lifetime of knowing you have.” Go for it. Love, Rols, Lizzie and Raphy
