Simplyhealth Great North Run 2019 · 8 September 2019 ·

We are a UK charity tackling some of the biggest societal challenges through our work with children who desperately need a break. We put magic into their lives, through our inspirational respite holidays with no screens and lots of time spent outdoors. Help us create memories that last a lifetime.

Story


On the 8th September I'll be doing the Great North Run in aid of CHICKS Charity:


CHICKS provides free respite breaks for children from across the UK who are aged 8-15, and who may be living in poverty, suffering bereavement, bullying or abuse or have caring responsibilities for loved ones.



I've been lucky enough to volunteer for CHICKS on a break and have seen first-hand the impact it has on the children. For many of the children, it is the first time they have tried activities we often take for granted. I witnessed children swim, rock climb, and ride a horse for the first time, and it was rewarding to see them react to encouragement as they gained confidence to try new things.

I would encourage you to donate anything you can to help.


  • £10 can provide a Memory bag filled with treasured momentos to remind a child of their time at CHICKS
  • £49 can provide food for the delicious home-cooked meals a child will enjoy
  • £120 would pay for the fun-filled activities a child will remember for years to come
  • £350 can pay for a group of 16 children to have a wet and wild kayaking session


  • £1,008 is the cost of sending a child on a break


I will also be doing the run in a chicken costume to raise awareness of the charity.


Thanks in advance.
