Stewart McLean’s London Marathon

A word from the Vine Trust...

Stewart is fundraising in of aid Vine Trust's Jubilee Hope Medical Programme on Lake Victoria, Tanzania.

Jubilee Hope Medical Expeditions enable volunteers to make a real and lasting difference to communities living on the islands and shore of Lake Victoria. Working in partnership with our in-country clinical team, volunteers provide primary healthcare services to communities living in severe poverty, aboard our fully-equipped medical vessel, Jubilee Hope. Vine Trust Medical Expeditions provide free, life-changing clinical testing, treatment and education to communities who would otherwise have little or no access to basic healthcare.

Donations made through this page will contribute towards the maintenance and development of the Jubilee Hope Medical Programme.

Many thanks for supporting Vine Trust – together we are helping to support vulnerable communities through effective and sustainable development.

Please note: Vine Trust does not accept responsibility for the fundraising activities of persons fundraising in aid of their expedition or the Trust. Any views expressed on this page are solely those of the named fundraiser and/or their donors, not Vine Trust.

Fundraising Activity

On Sunday the 26th of April 2026, Stewart will be taking on the iconic London Marathon to raise funds for Vine Trust.

Stewart is running in memory of his wife, Julia, a member of the Vine Trust board and a much-loved and admired volunteer. Julia had worked aboard the Jubilee Hope medical ship three times and had planned two further trips in 2025 prior to her death in May 2024. The photograph shows Stewart about to go on a training run with Julia’s brother, Keith Hamilton whilst on a visit to Northern Ireland. 

All money raised will go towards the Jubilee Hope Medical Programme on Lake Victoria, Tanzania which provides life-changing free medical care to remote island communities.
