Story
You've seen me and my running partners on Lexington Road. You've seen us on Minuteman Trail. You've seen us at Great Meadows. Now it's time to take the show across The Pond! I am running The Royal Parks Half Marathon in London on October 13, 2019.
I will be running a 13.1 mile route past world-famous landmarks and four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens alongside my running partner Monika.
I am running on behalf of a charity that is very dear to my heart....The Children's Hospital Trust. The Children's Hospital Trust helps improve children's healthcare at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in South Africa.
You can find our more about the Trust at http://childrenshospitaltrust.org.za/ but here is a short description of what they do:
"We believe that every day spent in hospital – is a day less of childhood. The Children’s Hospital Trust is compelled by our commitment to get children back home where they belong.
During the past two decades the Children’s Hospital Trust has raised over R600 million to upgrade and expand the Hospital’s buildings, purchase state-of-the-art equipment, support key services, unblock backlogs in critical service areas, and develop professional staff – ensuring that this extraordinary beacon of hope, remains a world-class and globally-respected medical facility. Funds have also supported ground-breaking child healthcare initiatives outside of the Hospital, strengthening services for children at other levels of the health system and reducing burden on the Hospital. 100% of all donations go directly to the Hospital and prioritized child healthcare needs, and not a single cent is spent on administration costs."
Please consider supporting me by donating to the Children's Hospital Trust! Thank you so much!!
