Story

Hey everyone,

I’ve signed up for the Hackney Half 2025, and no, it’s not because I suddenly love running—I’m doing it for Barts Charity!

If you’ve ever been to Newham General, or know someone who has, you’ve seen firsthand how important our local hospitals are. East London is home to some of the UK’s most diverse communities, and with that comes unique healthcare challenges. Barts Charity helps tackle these by funding life-changing research, groundbreaking treatments, and vital support for NHS staff—because well-supported doctors and nurses = better care for all of us.

So, while I’ll be struggling through 13.1 miles (send help), I’d love for you to support me! Every donation helps improve healthcare for the people of East London and beyond.
