Fundraiser for "Forgotten Patients, Overlooked diseases"

Forgotten Patients is raising money for Forgotten Patients, Overlooked diseases

Oysho Royal Parks Half Marathon · 11 October 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Our multidisciplinary team is keen to support patients and their families who find themselves ‘lost’ by the healthcare system. They may have a rare but often swiftly identifiable disease. They may have a common, often straightforward to manage condition, but have been misdiagnosed or mislabelled.

Story

On 11th October, we'll be taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon to support Forgotten Patients, Overlooked Diseases.

We are running to raise funds for a cause that is incredibly important to us. Forgotten Patients is dedicated to improving awareness, understanding, and care for people living with enduring symptoms and medically unexplained conditions.

A team from Forgotten Patients, Overlooked Diseases will be running the 13.1 mile (21.1km). Our brave runners include Lylah Drummond-Clarke, Amar Datta and Dr Jo d’Arcy.

Lylah is a Cancer Researcher at the University of Sussex currently working towards her PhD. She is also a science writer at St Gilesmedical London & Berlin

Amar is Index Equity Portfolio Manager at UBS Asset Management in London

Jo is Consultant Cardiologist and cardiovascular imaging specialist in Oxford

Millions of people experience symptoms that are difficult to diagnose and often spend years searching for answers. They can face uncertainty, delayed treatment, and a lack of support. Through education, research, advocacy, and collaboration, Forgotten Patients is working to ensure these patients are no longer overlooked.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help us continue this work and improve the lives of patients and their families. Thank you for supporting our challenge and helping us give a voice to those who are too often forgotten.
