Superhero 5K Fun Day 2026

Let's make life better for children in hospital

I'm raising money for a cause close to my heart and would love your support. 

My oldest son Josh’s aged 15 has been recently diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Let’s jog for Josh at the 5k event.

The goal of the Noah’s Ark Children's Hospital Charity is to create brighter todays and better tomorrows for the 90,000 children cared for at our nation's children's hospital each year.

The charity ensures that treatment and outcomes 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. It 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 thanks to people like you and me.
