We are thrilled to announce that Morgan’s Army has been named the official Gold Charity Partner for the 2025 Swansea University Swansea Half Marathon. This partnership marks a significant milestone for both the event and the charity, promising to bring greater visibility and support to Morgan’s Army’s mission of providing assistance to families in South Wales facing a cancer diagnosis in a child or young person.

Morgan’s Army, founded in memory of Morgan Ridler, a brave young boy who fought valiantly against cancer, is dedicated to supporting families of children and young people during and after cancer treatment. The charity focuses on raising funds for essential research, supporting projects that benefit cancer families in South Wales, providing emotional and financial support, and creating awareness about childhood cancer.

The Swansea University Swansea Half Marathon, one of the most scenic and popular races in the UK, offers a perfect platform to amplify Morgan’s Army’s message. The event attracts thousands of participants and spectators, creating a unique opportunity for widespread community engagement and fundraising.

Tash Smith, of Front Runner Events, expressed her excitement about the partnership: “We are thrilled to have Morgan’s Army as our Gold Charity Partner for next year’s half marathon. Their work is incredibly inspiring and vital. We hope that this partnership will not only raise significant funds but also increase awareness of the challenges faced by children with cancer and their families.”

Natalie Ridler, Morgan’s Mum and charity founder, shared her enthusiasm: “We are very excited about becoming the Gold Charity Partner for the Swansea Half Marathon. It’s a tremendous opportunity for us at Morgan’s Army. Every step taken by the runners will help us ensure that no one fights alone.”

Participants are encouraged to support Morgan’s Army by joining their team to raise funds and spread the word about the charity’s crucial work.

The Swansea University Swansea Half Marathon will take place on June 8th, 2025, starting at the iconic Copr Bay Bridge and winding through the city’s beautiful landmarks before hitting the coastal route towards Mumbles and back. Registration is now open, and runners of all abilities are invited to join the strong community that is Morgan’s Army.
