Martin House provides family-led hospice care, free of charge, for children and young people with life-limiting illnesses across West, North and East Yorkshire.

By taking on the Great North Run, participants are challenging themselves over 13.1 miles in the world biggest half marathon to help raise vital funds for children and families supported by Martin House. Every step taken helps ensure families receive the specialist care, comfort and support they need, when they need it most.

Every pound raised contributes to nursing care, therapies, emotional and practical support, and a safe, loving environment for children and their families. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, Martin House can continue to be there for families across Yorkshire at the most difficult times.

Whether you’re running, donating or sharing this page, your support makes a real and lasting difference.
