Siobhan from David Howard is running the London Marathon for Scope, championing disability equality. Support her journey and donate via JustGiving
David Howard is proud to support Siobhan as she prepares to take on the London Marathon on Sunday 27th April 2026. Siobhan is running in aid of Scope, a charity dedicated to achieving disability equality across the UK.
Siobhan signed up for the challenge having never run further than 5K before June 2025. What started as an ambitious idea has become months of early-morning training runs, long weekend miles and the kind of determination that only a meaningful cause can inspire.
“We’re very much still a work in progress, and learning first-hand that marathon training is not for the faint-hearted!” says Siobhan. “But knowing what we’re running for makes every mile worth it.”
Why Siobhan Chose Scope
Scope is a UK charity that works to create a world where disabled people have the same opportunities as everyone else. They provide free advice and emotional support to disabled people and their families. They campaign to remove barriers that affect disabled people’s everyday lives.
In the UK, around 16 million people are living with a disability. Scope’s work helps ensure that disabled people can live the lives they choose, with the support and equality they deserve. Many of the barriers they face in employment, housing and day-to-day life remain invisible to those who don’t experience them, and Scope works to change that.
A Team Behind Siobhan
Everyone here at David Howard is cheering Siobhan on as she continues her training and fundraising ahead of race day. Balancing a busy working life, family commitments and the demands of a marathon training plan is no small achievement, and the effort she has put in is something the whole team is proud of.
“We all wish Siobhan the very best of luck as she prepares for the London Marathon,” says Simon Bishop. “Good luck for the 27th of April. We can’t wait to see you cross that finish line!”
