Hi all,

This April I’ll be taking on the challenge of running three marathons in one week (including London Marathon) to raise money for The Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity- The Grand Appeal! ⭐️

Those of you who know me will know that I’ve worked on the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in Bristol for the past six years. During this time, I’ve seen first-hand the incredible work The Grand Appeal does and the real difference it makes to children, families, and staff every single day.

This charity genuinely transforms the experience of being in hospital for so many families, and I feel incredibly proud to be fundraising for them. If you’re able to donate, I’d be so grateful — every contribution, no matter how small, really does make a difference!

Here are just some of the ways your donations will help:

Family accommodation:

The charity provides accommodation for families while their child is in hospital. Our PICU is the only unit in the South West, covering all the way to Devon and Cornwall. This accommodation can save families weeks of expensive hotel and petrol costs — often saving them hundreds of pounds at an already incredibly stressful time.

Medical research:

They invest in vital medical research programmes to ensure the hospital remains a centre of innovation, helping improve treatments and outcomes for children both locally and internationally.

Life-saving equipment:

The Grand Appeal funds state-of-the-art medical equipment that directly helps save lives and supports staff in delivering the best possible care.

Taking on this triple marathon challenge will be an incredible physical and mental test, so any donation, big or small, really helps make a difference. If you’d like to support me in raising money for this wonderful charity, please follow the link on this page💛

Thanks all,
