What would you do for clean water? For the 696 million people living without it, the answer is anything. And they do: they walk miles every day, in treacherous conditions and extreme heat, just to access water that makes them sick — or worse.

That's why the Stanley 1913 team are taking on the Paris Marathon this year, to raise funds for clean water. Please support Bas, Stefanie, Marco & Jacopo as they take on this challenge! Race day is Sunday 12th April, 2026.

Every £30 raised will provide a lifetime of clean water to one person. Most importantly, 100% of every pound you donate will go directly to providing the life-changing gift of clean water where it’s needed most. charity: water will even report back with details of where your money went, and how it’s helping.
