*EDIT - 30th September 2025: We’re over the moon to share that we’ve reached our fundraising target, thank you so much for every donation, message, and cheer along the way. We’re now more determined than ever to keep going and raise as much as we can to support the incredible work of The Friends of Conquest Hospital and our beloved hospital. Every extra pound we raise will help fund life-saving cardiac equipment and ensures that more families receive the same exceptional care we did. Your support means the world to us and to Conquest Hospital, whose care helped our dad through one of the toughest moments of his life. Love Alex and Kat x*
In March 2024, our family faced a deeply worrying time when our dad had a heart attack. Thanks to the brilliant and tireless staff at Conquest Hospital, he received exceptional care and has now made a strong recovery. We’re incredibly grateful, and we wanted to do something to give back.
So we (Kat and Alex), are taking on our very first half marathon, the Hastings Half Marathon on Sunday 5th October to raise funds for The Friends of Conquest Hospital, a brilliant local charity that supports the hospital by funding vital equipment and services.
Friends of Conquest Hospital plays a crucial role in enhancing patient care by funding vital new equipment to improve the diagnosis, treatment and care provided by the hospital. Every donation helps them continue this amazing work.
Any of the funds we raise will go towards providing life-saving cardiac equipment for the hospital, something that hits very close to home for us.
Training is officially underway! Kat has done a bit of running before, while Alex is more of a “fresh legs, big heart” kind of runner, but we’re both determined to cross that finish line together.
We’re so grateful for any support you can give, whether it’s a donation, a share, a shout of encouragement from the side-lines, or even a well-timed snack delivery (we LOVE chocolate buttons). Thank you for helping us make a difference, we are truly grateful ❤️
