Lisa & Beatrice - Half Marathon for Bright Futures UK

Lisa Christie is raising money for Bright Futures UK

Royal Parks Half Marathon 2025 · 12 October 2025 ·

We are the first charity to supports young people who have been forced to take time out of education due to medical circumstances. We offer support to young people of all educational ages (5-24) who suffer from severe long-term illness, whether it be a mental health or physical condition.

Story

We’re excited (and a bit nervous!) to take on this personal challenge - the furthest we have ever run - to raise money for Bright Futures UK, supporting children & young people back into education after mental or physical health conditions.

Professionally, this is a cause close to Lisa’s heart, as she supports families with children whose anxiety, neurodiversity or mental health has meant time away from school. She’s seen how hard it can be for children to reintegrate back into school and is passionate about raising money to support Bright Futures to offer the tutoring, befriending and mentoring support they need.

Personally … we feel lucky to be training and completing the run together and are looking forward to the challenge 🙌🏻😁🙌🏻

We, Bright Futures UK, and all the children they support, are very grateful for your sponsorship. xxxxx

More about Bright Futures UK:

When children and young people take time out of any education setting due to long-term illness, they are missing out on far more than just academic learning. They are leaving a setting that helps shape who they will grow up to be.

Bright Futures UK understands the huge gap left by leaving school or any other education setting. Our tutoring, mentoring, befriending and workshops ensure all children and young people are able to meet their potential.
