Every day in the UK, two babies will develop a life-threatening group B Strep infection.
This April we challenge you to take on the distance of a Marathon in a Month, your way, and raise vital awareness of group B Strep infection in newborn babies and help prevent these devastating infections in the UK.
You can run, walk, swim, cycle, row the 26.2 miles – whichever way you choose to take part, you’ve got the month of April to complete your challenge and raise at least £100 for Group B Strep Support.
You are going to be amazing and you will make a real difference.
Be part of Marathon in a Month challenge and join us today!

Get Inspired
Last year over 30 supporters challenged themselves and took on the Marathon in a Month challenge in their own way.
I completed the challenge to walk a Marathon in a Month which I did in memory of my Grand-daughter, Pippa Griffiths, who we lost to group B Strep in 2016. I am proud to have raised funds and awareness of this infection in babies.
I enjoyed completing the challenge, which was also a personal challenge to myself as I am recovering from having had 2 new knee replacements .
The challenge has encouraged me to keep walking!
