On Sunday, April 26, 2026, Matt Cowling, a dedicated runner and supporter of community initiatives, will take on the challenge of the TCS London Marathon. This monumental event is not just a personal endeavour but a chance to raise funds for the vital work of Radio Harrow, a registered charity and community radio station.

Matt runs the Bread stall on Wymondham’s Farmers’ Market. “Running a marathon is no small feat,” he said. “It takes an immense amount of dedication, and with every step I take in training, I am reminded of the commitment I’ve made—not just to myself, but to everyone who believes in the cause.”

Matt is aiming to raise £1,000 by race day.

Having previously participated in marathons and cultivated friendships within the running community, Matt will be joined by friends who are running for their own chosen charities. Additionally, once they have crossed the finish line, they will be joining Team Finish Together, a group of volunteers dedicated to cheering on marathon participants and ensuring that every runner feels encouraged until the very last one crosses the finish line.

Matt is inviting fellow TCS London Marathon runners to join him at his stall on Wymondham Farmers’ Market at 10.00am on Saturday 18 April, for a photocall.
