Thanks for supporting my fundraising!

My name is Adam, I am 45 years of age and have run on and off for the last few years but have never attempted any distance above 10k.

This is my first half marathon and I have decided to do it for charity.

My chosen cause is the Childrens Outdoor Play Area at Northampton General Hospital.

The team on Disney and Paddington wards do a fantastic job and the money raised will help the children that visit benefit from a much needed new play area.

Any donation big or small is greatly appreciated.

Northamptonshire Health Charity has been asked to raise £130,000 for a new outdoor play area for children while they are in hospital. Your help in making this dream a reality to enhance the facilities for little ones at Northampton General Hospital really means a lot to us! For a child, being able to play whilst being treated in hospital is really important for their recovery as it is reassuring and familiar, enabling children to express their feelings and anxieties. Thank you for helping us reach our target with your fundraising. 

Children of all ages and ability are treated on Disney and Paddington with some young patients receiving chemotherapy and some children being treated in the Paediatric Assessment Unit. The new improved space will be equipped to provide a range of outside play activities as well as new options for physiotherapy. It will also have vastly improved accessibility for all children.
