GIVING SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN THE BEST CHANCE TO THRIVE. AT HOME.
Lisa and I are gearing up to crawl, jog, & somehow finish the Great North Run half marathon on September 7th, 2025. We’re certainly not going to smash records - but we are hoping to raise vital funds for WellChild, a charity that’s changing the game for kids with serious medical needs.
After doing the Sheffield 10K earlier this year for another amazing cause, we found WellChild—and wow. These nurses are absolute lifesavers, helping kids with complex, life-limiting conditions get out of hospital and back home whilst also providing further care, support and training to families.
Take Dexter: born at just 23 weeks, stuck in hospital for nearly 8 months, then finally discharged home for Christmas—thanks to WellChild nurses Alex & Charlie. His mum says they taught her how to care for him in ways she never imagined, turning chaos into hope during the toughest time of her life.

WellChild supports over 100,000 children across the UK, giving families a fighting chance to keep their loved ones cared for at home, easing emotional, practical, and financial burdens.
We won’t be fast. We won’t be pretty. But we are determined to make a difference. If you can spare anything, you’ll be helping brave kids and families who need it most.
Every penny counts. 💜
Thank you for your support,
Lisa & David x
