Myself and Alistair are running the Hackney Half Marathon. For me this is my first long race since having my daughter! We wanted to run for the Evelina London Children's Charity. The Evelina is an incredible children's hospital which has helped us lots and does amazing work helping so many children every day in many different ways. 

About the Evelina London Children's Charity: 

We’re an ever-growing family of people who are inspired by Evelina London Children’s Hospital’s pioneering care and passionate about supporting it. Every pound you raise will help Evelina London do incredible things for sick children, young people and their families. Be part of our amazing family.

Donations will help us: 

• Make Evelina London feel more like home, with wards that provide a sanctuary for families and a play space for children.
• Invest in innovative equipment and technology that makes treatment more precise and brings comfort to children and their families – like special illuminating equipment that makes injections easier.
• Support pioneering research which allows the expert Evelina London team to discover new ways to deliver care – like the ground-breaking 3D MRI scanner that helps diagnose heart problems in babies while they’re still in the womb.
• Look after the everyday heroes in the Evelina London team, making sure they get the care and support they need – from comfy seats for tired feet in our ‘wellbeing zones’ to trailblazing training.
