Every mile tells a story
From the chat to the challenge.
We’re David Bell and Nick Looby, the duo behind Chatbox Productions. Usually, you’ll find us starting conversations, sharing stories, and bringing people together. This time, we’re putting ourselves at the heart of a rather different story.
Our challenge is the London Marathon. Our commitment is to take it on together.
We’ll be training side by side, keeping each other motivated and working towards that moment when we cross the finish line. Along the way, we’ll share the highs, the tough days, and the moments that remind us why we signed up.
This is about friendship, determination, and using a personal challenge to do something positive for others.
We’d love you to be part of it.
Why we’re running
Miles with a purpose.
TRIBE Freedom Foundation works to end modern slavery and empower survivors in the UK. Its work focuses on prevention, raising awareness, and supporting survivors as they rebuild their lives and regain independence.
We want our marathon journey to help support that mission, through the money we raise and the conversations we start.
Every donation, message of encouragement, and share of this page helps us keep that purpose at the heart of our challenge.
There is a reason why we are doing this… and we need you!

Expect a few achievements, a few challenges, and probably some questionable running jokes.
