Story

You've seen us 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! Jen Nash and Monika Park are running The Royal Parks Half Marathon in London on October 9, 2016.

We 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.

We are running on behalf of a charity that is very dear to Jen's 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.

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 prioritised child healthcare needs, and not a single cent is spent on administration costs. "

Please consider supporting us by donating to the Children's Hospital Trust! Thank you so much!!
