The cost of living crisis is pushing renters to breaking point, and Shelter believes the Government is sitting back while rents spiral out of control. Almost 2.5 million renters are either behind or constantly struggling to pay their rent – an increase of 45 per cent since April 2022.

By joining #TeamShelter at the 2023 TCS London Marathon, you’ll stand with people at the sharp end of the housing emergency and join a movement fighting for a fairer housing system. Together we can make sure the right to a safe home is protected and new, safe, genuinely affordable homes are delivered for people who need them.

Eduard completed his 20th London Marathon with Shelter in 2022 because he wanted to join the fight against housing injustice.

"It’s been my pleasure to run and fundraise for Shelter over the years, I think the work they do is fantastic. Shelter made my 20th marathon extra special with a card, bottle of prosecco and a warm welcome at the post-marathon reception. I will be using my Good For Age place to run for Shelter again in 2023, bring on marathon number 21!"
