I'm running the Hackney Half Marathon for Homerton Hope
Clare Aitken is raising money for Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Charitable
Story
I'm going to (try to!) run the Hackney Half Marathon on May 18 2025 - your support means a huge amount (and will help spur me to get up and out on the long runs on days when I'd rather do almost anything else).
You'll be supporting Homerton Hope, Homerton Hospital's charity. This is what they say they do:
Raising funds for Homerton Hope enables us to provide the extras for our patients that is over and above what the NHS can. We also support our staff's health and wellbeing.
I've benefited from some of those 'extras', like staying in the parents' room so we didn't have to leave Wyn when was in NICU. And helping to look after the people who have looked after us in A&E, outpatient clinics and minor surgeries ever since is the least I can do to show my massive gratitude for everything they do.
If you can donate a couple of quid, I'd be really grateful. And if you can leave a song suggestion, I'll add it to my race day playlist to carry me towards the finish line!
Thanks so much x
