Why run for us in the Hackney Half Marathon?

By supporting Make-A-Wish UK and becoming a #WishHero in the Hackey Half 2024, you'll be transforming lives for children like Felix from London. Felix is fascinated with pylons, and his family turned to us with an incredibly imaginative wish: to help him transform into a pylon-powered superhero called Electroman. His wish was made possible because of #WishHeroes like you.
