London Marathon Fundraising Join us in rallying behind two incredible runners from the EOS Network family as they tackle the prestigious London Marathon this year.Our runners, Katie and Carla, are showcasing their incredible determination and raising awareness and much-needed funds for our community. The London Marathon is a beacon of human endurance and spirit, and this year, it promises to be even more significant. Set in the historical heart of London, the event celebrates strength, community, and solidarity. Our runners will be amongst thousands, each with their own stories but united by a common goal - to cross that finish line. Read our report about the London Marathon 2024 Meet Our Runners Katie's Story Katie, inspired by her friend Sam's long battle with Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease (EGID), is running the 2024 London Marathon to support the EOS Network. Witnessing Sam's struggles and facing her own battle with Crohn's, Katie understands the importance of a supportive community and the need for increased awareness and timely diagnosis of EGIDs. By participating in the marathon, Katie aims to raise funds and awareness for the EOS Network, ensuring those affected by Eosinophilic Diseases receive the recognition and support they need. Her campaign, #RunForEOS2024, is not just a race; it's a step towards changing lives for people like Sam. By raising awareness and money for the EOS Network, we will be able to make sure that Eosinophilic Diseases are recognised more, and that children and adults can get diagnosed sooner without suffering in silence. - Katie SUPPORT KATIE Carla' Story Diagnosed with Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis (EG) in 2020, Carla's life changed overnight. She faced weeks in the hospital, numerous challenges, and ongoing struggles due to the rarity of her condition, which lacked sufficient awareness and resources for proper diagnosis and treatment. By running this marathon, Carla aims to raise awareness and funds for the EOS Network and EG. She is determined to contribute to a world where those affected by Eosinophilic Diseases receive timely diagnosis, effective treatment, and the necessary support to navigate their condition. I am so keen to do anything I can to help & support the patients and families in this community who suffer day in and day out with EOS. Your support, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in the lives of people affected by Eosinophilic-Associated diseases. - Carla SUPPORT CARLA How You Can Support US Every step our runners take brings us closer to a world where Eosinophilic Diseases are understood, treated, and, hopefully, cured.
