The BIG day is almost here! 
THIS SUNDAY, 26th April, Sophie Sculfor runs 26.2 miles all to raise funds for TOPCATS
Sophie has completed an incredible training programme to get her to this point and we are so unbelievably proud of her!
She has ran through rain

(and snow!
) to stick to her training plan.
Sophie did have to rest through a small injury but has kept going and is in full preparation for the BIG day!

We are THRILLED to announce that we raised an INCREDIBLE

Part 2 of Sophie’s mega marathon training programme!
As you can see, Sophie is training constantly and covering so much distance, even when she’s away for work or on holiday! She is putting so much time and energy into this, we are so so so grateful!
Sophie has now completed a half marathon within her training!
Just a reminder that before this, Sophie had not run further than a 5k and now she’s running half marathons!!! What an amazing achievement already!
Yesterday, our fabulous runners went out in all their lights, with Christmas music blasting 
and completed a 5k festive fun run in support of Sophie’s epic London Marathon 2026 training.
The TOPCATS Young People and staff saw them off in style! Family and furry friends 
were out to cheer them on along the course.
Seeing them glowing from afar along the prom was amazing! 
We are so grateful to Sophie for taking on this challenge and to her fellow runners for supporting her yesterday evening.
We can’t wait to continue seeing Sophie’s running journey – from 5k to 26.2miles!
Keep an eye out for more Marathon events and fundraisers in the New Year!
TOPCATS AT THE ️TCS LONDON MARATHON 2026
The wonderful Sophie was lucky enough to gain a space at this year’s London Marathon and WE are incredibly lucky that she very kindly chose to run and fundraise for TOPCATS
Sophie has been training relentlessly since gaining her space at this year’s Marathon, as before this, her furthest run had been a 5k! 
We are incredibly grateful for all the effort she is going to to be ready to run in April.
The rigorous training plan; the late night runs, the holiday runs, the lunch break runs! All whilst working full time and being Mum! She is a true superwoman 
Sophie has been keeping a video log of her training so we can all see how well she is doing and how much she has improved along the way .
