Why run for us in the Paris Marathon?

By supporting Make-A-Wish UK and becoming a #WishHero in the Paris Marathon 2026, you'll be transforming lives for children like Ezekiel. Ezekiel wished 'to go to Disneyland Paris' and his wish was made possible because of #WishHeroes like you.

Ezekiel's wish

4 years old

Kinross

"I wish to go to Disneyland Paris"

Ezekiel was born a seemingly healthy baby. Unfortunately, this proved not to be the case. He was born with a type of kidney cancer, but his family wasn't to know.

"It’s so precious to have that silver lining at the end, to have a grand finale."

Katy, Ezekiel's mum
