Over the past 25 years our extraordinary runners have raised over £875\,000 for the charity and we can’t thank our runners enough for their passion and incredible support. \nEvery penny goes towards life-changing projects at the RUH\, such as: \n• providing state-of-the-art equipment\n• providing facilities for loved ones to be with patients\n• transforming hospital wards\n• funding life changing research and innovative technologies\n• providing mental health first aid training to staff\n• arts programmes for children and older people on our wards \nWith your help\, we can make our care extra extraordinary for every patient and support our hospital staff to do what they do best.
