The best medical care for your child isnt always close to home. We ease some of the burden by providing free home away from home accommodation. We're running to help even more families close to their child in hospital.

Story

I always dreamed of running London Marathon. The event makes me well up every time I watch it and I dreamt of being there. In short, after covid mucked up a LOT of plans, I ran it virtually in its 40th year, my 40th birthday. In 2021 I got to run it, in London for Daisy’s Dream, raising £5000 with my friends,  family and this wonderful communities support. 

This year, I said I would only do it if I got in organically…and blow we down, with a 4% chance, I went and got a ballot place. This year, after a tough last year, I want to do it for a chef friend who spends most weeks in Ronald McDonald House with his very poorly son.  They make his and his family's very tough life just that little bit easier, but it means the world to him.

I’d love your support to help me raise money for this charity and let’s be honest, I only run so I can indulge in my other passion without guilt…wine! Please help me get over that finish line (ideally with a PB but 🤫🤫). Thank you
