CBBG Group, A Vertex Company, is pleased to share that Walied Abdeldayem, Senior Managing Director, EMEA, will run the TCS London Marathon on April 26, 2026, in support of Kith & Kids, a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting people with a learning disability or autism, along with their parents and siblings.
Walied’s decision to take on the 26.2-mile marathon is rooted in a deeply personal connection to the charity’s mission. As a parent, he recognizes the value of strong support networks and is committed to helping ensure other families have access to the care, community, and opportunities they need. Kith & Kids provides vital support through social development programs, volunteer-supported clubs, fully supported holiday activities, and emotional assistance for families who often feel isolated or overwhelmed. As a parent, he recognizes the importance of strong networks that offer care, community, and opportunities for growth.
Contributions directly support these life-changing programs, helping expand access to creative learning activities, community engagement opportunities, and respite experiences for individuals and families who depend on the charity’s services.
These programs foster independence, meaningful connection, and long-term personal growth for the people Kith & Kids serves.
