At St Monica Trust we're taking part in the Walk of Life 2025 to support the RUH Bath on the 17th May.

But... for some misguided reason I decided to do a little more and sign up to the Bristol Half Marathon on the 11th May. This will be the furthest I have run since 2008 and as someone who hates running and is almost 20 years older than that last time, I'm really not sure why I'm doing, so please give generously!

We're raising money for The Royal United Hospital Bath (RUH) who do incredible work and have amazing staff despite constant pressure on resources. I am personally grateful for the level of care and compassion they provided to my son who broke his femur at just 2 years old, who around 6 months later has made a full recovery.

A little bit more aboute the cause:

Together, the funds we help raise will make a real life impact. Every penny goes towards helping care for patients at the hospital and providing state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for loved ones. From transforming hospital wards, funding life changing research and innovative technologies, to providing mental health first aid training to staff and arts programmes for children and older people on our wards. With your help, we can make our care extra extraordinary for every patient, and support our hospital staff to do what they do best.
