This year I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2024 in support of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital Charity.

Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at Great Ormond Street Hospital from all over the UK.

Every day, young lives hang in the balance as patients, families and staff battle the most complex illnesses. Every day, the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs that change the lives of thousands of children – and change the world.

Despite the greatest challenges a child can face, the hospital is a place where being sick does not always mean being sad. And it’s a place where you’ll find – today and every day – some of the bravest people you could ever meet.

Your donations can help fund 4 main areas: the rebuilding of the hospital, support for families and children, pioneering research and life-saving medical equipment.
