Team Kerr

Sandra, David and their son Aaron started running together in 2014 and since then have gone on to complete 51 marathons, as well as hundreds of other events, all whilst sharing their message of inclusion. Team Kerr have run in all 32 counties on the island of Ireland, as well as England, Scotland and the USA. At the 2016 Dublin City Marathon they received the Lord Mayors Medal and then in 2022, after a 7 year campaign, they changed a 41-year-old rule to allow assisted runners participation in the London Marathon, becoming the first to officially cross the start line.

They launched their children's book 'Aaron’s Great Big Green Running Machine' in 2022, with the aim of telling Aaron's story and raise awareness among young children about how it is ok to be different.

"Although he might not always show it, and can find it hard to express his feelings, we as parents know that inside, our son is at his happiest with the wind in his hair, and the sun on his face."
