Becca Cox, from Wimbledon, will direct the London 2025 marathon on Sunday with his mother, Lynn, to raise money for guide dogs.
BECCA is one of the only two runners that celebrates its 18th birthday on racing day, and among the young participants in this year’s marathon.

He will also act as his mother’s guide runner, something that has the leg since he was 14 years old.
Lynn said: “Guide dogs have made such a difference in my life.
“You would believe how to change the life of having an es-mobility dog, trust, company and much more.
“The relationship is very symbiotic.
“We are stronger together than we would ever be of Uselves.”
Lynn is a life -guide dog owner and is currently training with his fifth dog, Spike, after working with Blue, Glad, Patsy and Danny.
Becca, who began running at age nine through Parkrun and picked up again the pandemic, has now completed more than 100 careers and training sessions as his mother’s guide runner.
BECCA said: “I have seen first hand the impact guide that changes life.
“I have also seen what my mother is without one: her mobility and trust are affected, and it is difficult.”

Becca was recorded late as a guide corridor and may not formally formally recognize the youngest participants of the event.
Lynn said: “This is a young woman who really deserves a marathon medal.
“Not only for running 26.2 miles, but for the years of support, for renouncing its 18th birthday, and for being the reason I can assume this race.”
