Run the 2026 Great North Run for WellChild, who with your support will help make it possible for children and young people with complex health needs to be cared for at home instead of in hospital wherever possible.

Story

This year we’re taking on the Great North Run as a family to raise money for WellChild, a charity that does incredible work supporting seriously ill children and their families across the UK.

My husband and I will be running the Great North Run, while our two children, Millie and Rory, will be taking part in the Mini Great North Run – their very first running event! We’re so proud of them for getting involved and helping to support such an important cause.

As parents, we know how precious our children are, and WellChild’s work helping families navigate some of the toughest challenges imaginable is something that really resonates with us. The charity provides practical and emotional support to families caring for children with complex medical needs, helping them spend more time together at home where they belong.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help WellChild continue supporting children and families when they need it most.

Thank you so much for supporting us and cheering us on as we take on this challenge together!
