It's 3 weeks today that Holly and I ran the Royal Parks Half Marathon. It was a amazing event to take part in and raise funds for St Georges Hospital Charity, a cause very important to Holly.

We had our certificates through recently and a total of £1530 has been raised so far, which is fantastic!

Thank you so very much to all our friends and family who have supported and donated to the cause, and to our fabulous cheer leader groups who came and supported on the day.

Please read Hollys message on her just giving page, and see our photo updates.

Many thanks again, lots of love from Holly and me xxxxxxxxxxx

My daughter, Holly, and I will be running the Royal Parks half marathon in October in support of St George’s Hospital Charity.

It’s a charity especially important to us after Holly spent some time on the Brodie Ward at St George’s in October 2021. It was a really scary time in Holly's life, but the care and support provided by everyone in the Atkinson Morley Wing made it so much easier for her.

Holly said, "It is impossible for me to put into words how grateful I am but I hope that by running in support of the charity, it will go a little way to saying a huge thank you to everyone who looked after me during and after my stay."

Any donations (no matter how big or small) will be greatly appreciated! We’re here for a good time and a long time 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Here’s a little bit about how the money raised will support the hospitals:

We work in partnership with St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, St George’s, University of London and our local community to fund major improvements to hospital facilities, research and medical equipment, schemes that make a real difference to the experience of patients, families and staff, as well as projects within the community that support the reduction of health inequalities and preventable hospital admissions.

All the money raised will make a real difference to the lives of thousands of patients and their families, as well as benefit the amazing team at St Georges and Queen Marys Hospitals. Through funding new medical equipment, ward refurbishments, research, arts and musical therapies and so much more.
