I'm Running The TCS London Marathon 2025 In Loving Memory Of Ellie ‘Els Bells’ Isaacs
It’s with both an incredibly heavy and immensely proud heart, that I’ve been given the privilege to run the TCS London Marathon 2025, for the London Air Ambulance, in Memory of my late sister in law Ellie Jessalyn Isaacs.
If you are not already aware, on the 19th June 2019, The lives of the family and friends of our beautiful Ellie changed forever after she was struck by a car. The London Air Ambulance & its team are the brave and wonderful people who transported our beautiful Ellie to Kings College Hospital whilst carrying out life saving treatment but sadly despite their incredible efforts, it wasn’t enough to save her but allowed her family and friends a opportunity to say their goodbyes.
Ellies Mum and Dad, Lisa and Terry along with the whole family were recently invited to meet the medics who fought tirelessly to save Ellie’s life, at their base in The Royal London Hospital on the helipad. Frank (The Patient Liaison Nurse) and Lynsey (The paramedic who worked endlessly to try save Ellie) explained the events in depth to us from the second they received the call to the seconds they handed Ellie over at kings college hospital, without these people, No one would of had the chance to say their goodbye. I myself did not even know that they were a charity until after the loss of Ellie.
They are more then just the London Air Ambulance, they are paramedics, pilots, mechanics, bereavement counsellors, friends of family's when they need it most, Mothers and Fathers. They are angles that walk among us.
The work these real life hero’s carry out on a day to day basis is unmatched and they need your help to be able to do what they do.
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.
If your reading this and you knew Ellie, let’s smash this target together and show London and the world just how much Ellie was and still is Loved. Please give what you can and please know how much it is appreciated by Ellie’s entire family.
Ps. Come along and watch this fat bloke try run 26.4 miles, it’s bound to be funny!

To Ellie, I made you 3 promises by your bedside when I said my final good bye to you. I’d like to think I’ve already stuck to 2 of them and they are more promises for life, the 3rd was to make you proud, I can’t think of anything else harder so myself to do then to run a marathon on behalf of the London air ambulance in your name, in your memory. I know you will be with me every step of the way, love you Els Bells. Love your brother from another mother ❤️ x Ps. To Myself, remember, mind over matter, if it’s not on your mind, it doesn’t matter! You got this!
