Victoria Park 5k, 10k, Half Marathon / Bologna Marathon 2025 · 6 October 2024

Together with our supporters, Barts Charity is there for patients and families in East London – through it all. We support pioneering research and the wellbeing of our brilliant NHS staff. We help to refurbish wards and provide Barts Health hospitals with the very best equipment.

Story

As many people know, we recently lost an extremely special husband, son, brother and friend whilst he was out in the final stretch of training for Bologna Marathon - with all his hard miles done!

In order to keep his memory alive, and also get his amazingly dedicated and loving spirit over the finish line multiple times, we are all taking on personal challenges to run the distances at Victoria Park 6/10/24 and others Bologna Marathon 02/03/25. Carrying Andy and each of our own truly once in a lifetime memories all the way round.

This page is for anyone to donate and support any one of Andy's runners and their mission to cover their distance (5/10/half/full) and earn a pint or two at the end - a venue is TBC.

In light of everything that happened we're fundraising for Barts Charity to support the amazing hospitals of Barts Health NHS Trust (St Bartholomew's, The Royal London, Mile End, Whipps Cross and Newham) where the team were fantastic with Andys family and many many friends who visited.

Your donation will help make things better for patients and staff, by funding things like state-of-the-art equipment, innovative healthcare projects or ground-breaking medical research. The team there did an amazing job for Andy.

We'd also love to get people down to support everyone running on the day.

Thank you for your support. Together, we can make extraordinary healthcare happen.
