Battersea Half Marathon for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice
OK, this isn’t quite an adventure per se, but wanted to record it for posterity.
On Sunday I ran the Battersea Park half marathon for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice. I usually run half marathons for fun and feel cheeky asking for sponsorship, but Noah’s Ark had a matched fundraising campaign; ‘From That Moment‘ that coincided. So I broke my rule and fundraised for this one.
I’ve been volunteering with Noah’s Ark for the last 6 months, and have been blown away by the wraparound support that they give to unwell kids and their families from the moment of diagnosis. From clinical care, to providing specialist knowledge, equipment and therapy to help all kids play and have joy in their lives, to the emotional and practical support given to parents and siblings to help them feel supported and get access to life experiences that might otherwise be curtailed. They really do showcase the best of humanity.
Proud of this one!
