I work with Pam at Salisbury Orthodontics, and one of the things that connects us outside of work is our shared love of running. I’ve previously taken on the Brighton Marathon, while Pam has completed the Amsterdam Marathon, so when the opportunity came up for us to run the London Marathon together, we knew instantly this was something we had to do. Not just for the personal challenge, but because this charity has impacted us in such a positive way.

The Stars Appeal funds state of the art medical equipment, creates calming welcoming spaces, supports vital services eg. cancer care, neonatal care, mental health, to both patients and staff and helps provide emergency accommodation for families who need to stay close to their loved ones.

We’re so proud to be running 26.2 miles for such a special cause. Over £1 million is raised each year, going above and beyond what the NHS can provide alone. This makes a massive difference to local people every day. Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps The Stars Appeal continue to provide enhanced care, better facilities, and crucial support for patients, families and staff at Salisbury District Hospital.

Thank you in advance for your donations!
