If you are one of the lucky few to win a ballot place in the London Marathon, why not do something amazing with it by joining #TeamShootingStar and running to make a difference to children with life-limiting conditions and their families. You can set your own fundraising target and you'll get the same level of support as our Gold Bond runners.
