Story

🌟 Our Journey for Bristol Children’s Hospital 🌟

This April, we’re taking on a challenge that’s a little bit extraordinary—because the people we’re running for are extraordinary.

I will be running a double marathon, and then an extra 5km for fun, making my way from our home in Gloucester all the way to Bristol Children’s Hospital on Sunday, April 26th. My friends will be joining me for this incredible journey, step by step, mile by mile, to raise money for a place that changed our lives.

The NHS is, without question, one of the greatest achievements of our society. And within it, the staff at Bristol Children’s Hospital represent the very best of who we are. Their skill, compassion, and unwavering dedication supported our family through the toughest moments of our lives, as our daughter underwent three heart surgeries. We will never forget the care she received—and the kindness shown to us as parents.

This challenge is our way of saying thank you. Thank you for the expertise that healed. Thank you for the passion that comforted. Thank you for giving our daughter the chance to grow, thrive, and be the adventurous soul she is today.

And speaking of adventure—she wants to be part of this too. Throughout April, she’ll be walking, riding, and scooting 57.6 miles, covering the same distance that will end with my ultra marathon. Her determination inspires us just as much as the hospital staff inspired our whole family.

Every mile we cover is for them.

Every pound raised goes towards helping more families like ours.

And every bit of support means the world.

Thank you for cheering us on—and for standing with Bristol Children’s Hospital. ❤️
