Support Keith Chapman in the Great North Run 2026

This year, I’m taking on the Great North Run to raise vital funds for the Paediatrics department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead.

Great North Run 2026 · 13 September 2026 ·

Closes 31/12/2026

We want to improve the experience of our hospital for our patients by purchasing extra equipment or training which will make the difference. If you wish to support a particular ward or department, please state which one in your message and our finance team will ensure it goes to the right place.

Story

For children and families facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives, this department provides not just exceptional medical care, but comfort, reassurance, and hope when it’s needed most.

Thanks to the kindness of supporters, the hospital has already been able to create calmer, more welcoming spaces — transforming clinical environments into areas that help reduce fear and anxiety for young patients. But there is always more that can be done.

Every donation will help fund life-changing equipment, enhance patient care, and continue to improve the experience for children and their families during incredibly challenging times.

Running 13.1 miles will be tough — there will be moments when it really pushes me — but it’s nothing compared to what these children and their families go through. Knowing that every step can make a difference will keep me going.

No matter the amount, your donation will help this incredible team continue to provide the care, compassion, and support that families rely on every day.
