Charity
Oasis is a Christian charity working with vulnerable young people and their families in 10 countries worldwide. In the UK, we help over 35,000 people every year to lift themselves out of negative situations. We work with them, their families and the communities they live in to understand what is holding them back and provide essential support and services where they are missing.
Please note Virgin Money Giving isn't responsible for the content fundraisers post on their pages, but if you see something you feel is offensive or inappropriate, please let us know and we'll look into it.
Steve's Guinness World Record Bid
Why am I running the Virgin London Marathon?
I am running the London Marathon with the goal of setting a new Guinness World Record for the most sponsorship money ever raised through a marathon.
I believe that our society should pursue with passion the kind of equality which, of its very nature, requires a lopsided generosity. Only this approach can build the kind of healthy communities which are filled with opportunities for everyone - both young and old - that we would all want for our families and friends.
Having already broken the world record twice - and currently holding it at £1.85 million after recapturing it from Sir Steve Redgrave - I'd love to make it an hat-trick by beating my present total and may be even topping £2 million.
Every single penny you give will go to support the communities where Oasis UK works to bring education, health care, youth work, children's centres, resources for mums and dads, housing, training and employment opportunities.
So please help me by giving as generously as you can.
