Running for a cause: Rebecca & Lauren

Follow the inspiring journey of Rebecca and Lauren as they train for the London Marathon in April 2027. Emily Woods Photography is proud to document every step of their journey, raising vital awareness and funds for Young Lives vs Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer UK.

The mission and the miles

Tackling 26.2 miles through the heart of London is no small feat. Rebecca and Lauren are running in support of two crucial organisations: Young Lives vs Cancer, helping children and young people navigate the hardest moments of their lives, and Pancreatic Cancer UK, supporting vital research and patient care. Every early morning mile, rainy training session, and breakthrough milestone is leading towards race day in April 2027.

Charity photography days

To support Rebecca and Lauren’s fundraising goals, Emily Woods Photography is hosting dedicated charity photoshoot days right here in Basildon. When you book a studio or outdoor portrait session during these special events, a portion of the proceeds goes straight towards their marathon fundraising total. It is the perfect opportunity to capture timeless memories while supporting an incredible cause.

How you can support

Every bit of encouragement makes a difference on the road to the finish line. You can help by donating directly via their fundraising link, booking in for our upcoming charity photo days, or sharing their story across social media. Keep an eye on our visual journal as we continue capturing Rebecca and Lauren's training journey all the way through to race day.
