Karl's fundraiser for Leeds Hospitals Charity

Karl Bates is raising money for Leeds Hospitals Charity

Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon 2026 · 10 May 2026 ·

We are the charity of Leeds Teaching Hospitals. We support NHS staff to deliver the best care for over a million patients and their families each year. Donations fund life-saving equipment, treatments, research and home comforts. Whatever will make the biggest impact to the people who need it most.

Story

This year, I’ve decided to take on not one…not two…but three major running events for charity. Yes, three because my legs clearly haven’t suffered enough and my decision making skills are questionable at best.

Below is the lineup of chaos I’ve willingly signed up for:

• Leeds Marathon – 10 May

• The Wall Ultra – 13 June (Carlisle to Newcastle)

• Yorkshire Marathon – 18 October

Why I’m Doing This

I’m running all three in support of Leeds Hospitals Charity, helping raise funds for the vital work they do across Leeds Teaching Hospitals. Knowing that every mile contributes to better care, equipment, and support for patients and staff gives me all the motivation I need.
