Local charity Frome Birth Talk has received a donation of over £2,800 after the founder’s son completed the challenging London Marathon.
Tom Wilson ran the 26.2-mile course on Sunday 27th April in aid of the charity founded by his mother, Karen Wilson, in 2017. He raised £2,878, finishing the event in 3:45:27, for Frome Birth Talk, which provides free counselling and support services for pregnant people, new parents, and those who have experienced baby loss.
“This year was also a record-breaking year for the London Marathon, which has landed Tom the title of Guinness World Record Holder. He is now officially part of the highest number of people ever to complete a marathon anywhere in the world,” explained counselling coordinator Lucy Hill.
Frome Birth Talk has secured two spaces for the 2026 London Marathon and is looking forward to seeing its logo among the crowds once again next year.
