Story

Running for Lennie & the Evelina London Children's Hospital 💚

I’m proud to be running the 2026 London Marathon in support of Evelina London Children’s Charity — the hospital that saved our little boy’s life.

In November 2022, Lennie was rushed to hospital with RSV, pneumonia, and a collapsed lung. Over the next 11 days, he endured two major surgeries, was placed on a ventilator, and spent time in intensive care across two hospitals.

Watching our baby boy fight for his life was the hardest thing we’ve ever faced.

Thanks to the incredible staff at Evelina London, Lennie became stable enough to continue his recovery at home — and for that, we’ll be forever grateful.

This is my way of saying thank you and helping other families facing the unthinkable. Every penny will support the amazing care Evelina gives to children like Lennie.

The Evelina Hospital helps over 103,000 children and young people every year, delivering life-changing care with compassion, innovation, and dedication.

Here’s what your donation could help provide

£15 could buy VR tech to distract children during scary procedures

£25 could fund magical sensory tools for therapeutic play

£50 could support pioneering research to improve treatment so children get the best care.

Please help me reach my goal and run with purpose - Thank you!
