I'm running the Robin Hood Half Marathon in September 2023 to raise money for Nottingham Hospitals Charity.

I've chosen this charity because of the significant impact that Nottingham's NHS hospitals have had on my life through caring for my family over the years, in particular my granddad. If it wasn't for the wonderful care that he has received time and time again from the tireless efforts of NHS staff when he needed it most, I may never have even seen him. I could've lost him in 1999, 2017, and 2021, but it's because of the NHS that he celebrated his 75th birthday in October and is still alive and well to this day. I realise that I've been incredibly lucky throughout my life and wanted to find a way to express my gratitude.

I thought the best way I could say thank you is to give back to the people who saved Granddad's life. Nottingham Hospitals Charity supports our city's NHS hospitals by funding the enhancement of facilities, life-saving equipment, valuable medical research, and staff development for our incredible NHS workers.

Every donation makes a huge difference, so I'd be delighted if you could help support this cause with anything you can. If you could also share this fundraiser with your family and friends, I would massively appreciate that!

Thanks for your time and support, have a lovely day :)

Karan.
