Melanoma Focus have limited charity places in the London Marathon, with high demand for this event, we kindly request:
The Process:
- Once applications are in, we will review them and send an acknowledgement email
- We will be in touch with all applicants by mid-July to let them know if they have been successful or not in their application. Due to limited charity places, we would also advise that you enter the ballot yourself and select Melanoma Focus as your chosen charity.

If you’re lucky enough to secure a ballot place, we would love for you to run as part of Team Melanoma Focus, please email fundraising@melanomafocus.org. There is no minimum amount to raise.
