I’m running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Best Mates. ‘m doing it because I believe in their simple yet powerful mission. One of connecting people with someone who truly understands what they’re going through,’ Rob said.

‘I’ve been on a journey, from being a young dad to starting my business. Best Mates and its work resonates with me and I’m honoured to contribute to such a worthy cause.

‘I’ve seen firsthand how their network of volunteers, who’ve all faced their own challenges, provide that crucial support when someone needs it most. The connections they create are genuine and life-changing. I’m running to ensure more people can access this support when they need it.’

About Best Mates

His dedication helps raise awareness of the vital work we do, ensuring that more people can receive the support they need when they need it most. We’re so grateful for his efforts and will be cheering him on every step of the way.’
