London Marathon 2023 · 23 April 2023 ·

WellChild is the national charity for seriously ill children. Thousands of children live with complex medical needs. Many spend months, or years in hospital because there is no support enabling them to leave. We exist to give these children the best chance to thrive: at home, with their families.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

On 23rd April 2023, Mike Starkey and Dan Ovel who are West Mercia Police Officers from Hereford will be taking on the London Marathon.  Mike hasn't run a marathon before (or even a timed race!) so this will be a huge challenge.   We have chosen to support the WellChild charity who offer specialized care to allow seriously ill children and their families the best chance to thrive at home instead of the hospital.  I'm sure any parent who ever falls in to the unfortunate circumstance of having a seriously ill child would be so grateful to know that such a charity exists and by raising money will not only help support the care of seriously ill children, but raise valued awareness of such a great charity.

So please, if you are able, donate what you can to spur us on with our challenge.  If you can't afford to donate, you can still support us by sharing this page in anyway possible or by spreading the word.

Thanks,

Mike & Dan
