Marty Matters

Superhero 5K Fun Day 2026

Let's make life better for children in hospital

We're taking part in this event in memory of Marty Matthieu Cook. A short life with a lasting impact. 

Born in France but had he made it home to Wales with us that summer, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital would have been where he was treated.

This year Jo, Mark, Robyn & Beauden will take part in this event shortly after their son & brothers 4th birthday.  

Thank you to our friends who are joining us on the day and anyone who supports this cause close to our hearts - this charity support children and families through the darkest of days.

The goal of the Noah’s Ark Children's Hospital Charity is to create brighter todays and better tomorrows for the 73,000 children cared for at our nation's children's hospital each year. The charity ensures that treatment and outcomes for children can continue to improve by funding new and innovative medical equipment and facilities. It supports children and families in the here and now through its emotional support service and the much loved play specialist team and it invests in the future by providing technology that helps train the bright clinicians of tomorrow. Noah's Ark also strives to make the hospital a less frightening and more familiar place for children by sprinkling a little fun and happiness into hospital days. As a charity that relies entirely on donations and gifts in Wills – this is all only made possible with all our help.
