A local teacher has raised £2,110 for YMCA Yorkshire Coast thanks to a London Marathon challenge.
Joe Hall, who successfully completed the 2026 London Marathon in four hours, was thanked by the YMCA team following his fundraising exploits.


He took on the iconic 26.2 mile run to help the charity continue it’s work supporting local children, young people, families and vulnerable adults across the local community.
Owen Price, deputy CEO of YMCA Yorkshire Coast, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Joe for his dedication, determination and generosity.
“Completing the London Marathon is a huge achievement in itself, but to raise £2,110 on top of that is absolutely fantastic.
“Every penny will help us continue providing vital services and opportunities for people across the Yorkshire Coast.
“Everyone at YMCA Yorkshire Coast would like to congratulate Joe on his achievement and thank everyone who supported his fundraising efforts.”
