50km Run from St John’s Hospital, Livingston to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary · 30 March 2025

Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity believes no child should face hospital alone. Every day, 500 seriously ill children face a life-changing hospital visit. Children tell us it can be frightening. Parents say they're sick with worry. We want to change this. With your support, we can. Are you in?

Story

My youngest son, Joshua, was born eight weeks premature at St John’s Hospital in Livingston. He received incredible care in the neonatal unit, and my wife and I will always be grateful for the support we received during that time. Now, nearly four years later, Joshua is happy, healthy and well.

To give back and support the hospital that helped our family, I’m fundraising by running 50km from St John’s Hospital to the Glasgow Royal Hospital—a journey that mirrors the first ambulance ride Joshua took as a newborn.

Any support, whether through donations or spreading the word, would mean the world. Thank you!
