Story

We're running the London Marathon for Spread a Smile!

Spread a Smile bring joy and laughter to seriously ill children in NHS hospitals and hospices across the country. Betty has had the pleasure of working for the charity for 7 years, as a visit manager and more importantly as a singing fairy - and we can't think of a better cause to be running for now!

Through in-person and virtual visits and events, Spread a Smile’s entertainers – from magicians to musicians, artists, fairies and therapy dogs - enhance wellbeing and help young patients and their families cope with the pain and anxiety of serious illness and hospitalisation, developing bespoke relationships with each family and each health setting, so that we can offer the most impactful support.
