Trudy's fundraiser for The Sick Children's Trust

Trudy Walker is raising money for The Sick Children's Trust

Dukeries Ultra Marathon Sherwood Forest and Clumber Park in 9th May 2026 · 9 May 2026

The Sick Children’s Trust is the charity that gives families with a seriously ill child in hospital a comfortable place to stay and a friendly ear to listen in one of our ten ‘Homes from Home’. By providing families with somewhere to stay near their child they have one less thing to worry about.

Story

As some of you might know we have been on a journey when Emily was diagnosed with a brain tumour in February 2025. We were told they needed to remove the tumour before it caused her to have life limiting consequences. In April at Sheffield Children’s Hospital she underwent a 9 hour operation & then was transferred to the High Dependency Unit. The Sick Children’s Trust provided a ‘ Home from Home’ for me at Treetops in the hospital. I was able to have a bed to sleep in, wash my clothes, cook a meal & most importantly stay close to Emily. They don’t ask families for any money, I was so grateful to have somewhere to stay so close it was one less worry. This challenge for me is huge but I want to be able to support this amazing charity.
