Boxwave in Leeds - 8 Cities. 8 Days. 1 Mission.

8 Cities. 8 Days. 1 Mission · 19 June 2025
We’re running 5K in 8 cities over 8 days, from Edinburgh to London, to raise money for children’s hospitals and to raise awareness for children’s physical and mental health.
Each morning, we’ll run 5K in a different city, then travel to the next one by car. We’re inviting families and local communities to join us to walk, jog, or run alongside us.
This isn’t a race. It’s a mission.
Every penny donated will go directly to the children’s hospital in each city.
This run is about showing up for the next generation, supporting the hospitals that care for them, and shining a light on the importance of children’s physical and mental well-being.
If you believe in this mission, please donate whatever you can.
Let’s make every mile matter.
Leeds Hospitals Charity supports Leeds Children’s Hospital to help make this exceptional healthcare even better.
Through the generous donations of their supporters, they have funded life-saving equipment, treatments and research into rare diseases, and help to bring hope, happiness and home comforts to every bedside.
In the last year alone, they awarded over £1 million specifically for projects to enhance the care and experience of patients at the Leeds Children’s Hospital. From ground-breaking research to specialist play staff, Christmas gifts, to innovative diagnostic technologies – the projects they support are all focused on enhancing the care and treatment of paediatric patients in Leeds.
Donations to the charity make a real difference in supporting poorly babies, children and their families, which helps Leeds Children’s Hospital deliver the best outcomes for children and young people.
