As part of Pigeon's fundraising for their charity of the year, Cambridge Children’s Hospital, me and eight of my colleagues are taking on Cambridge Half Marathon 2024.

Training is now in full swing, so please give generously for this very good cause.

The Cambridge Children’s Hospital is an innovative and ground-breaking project for our region and is urgently needed as the East of England is currently the only area of the UK without a dedicated children’s hospital. CCH will be a world first – taking an entirely new approach to healthcare as the first fully integrated hospital to treat the whole child. CCH will provide treatment for both mental and physical health and will bring together leading research, treatment, and technology. Serving 1.5 million children in the area, and connecting with the 16 existing regional hospitals, CCH will draw on telehealth technology to allow the ongoing treatment of children and young people within their own homes and school environment, with admission for only those children in critical need. It will bring physical and mental health expertise together under one roof, working in unison to organise treatment that supports everything a child may be going through — whether that’s visible or not.
