Can I run for you without having to raise a specific amount?
Yes! You can sign up with RunThrough and pay full price for your place by clicking here. Choose to run for a charity at the checkout and when you choose Newlife we will be notified so that we can give you our full support. If you raise £75 before the day of the run we will send you a running vest in the post.
How will the funds be used?
The funds raised will be used to make a difference to disabled and terminally ill children across the UK. Newlife provides specialist equipment grants, emergency equipment loans, Play Therapy Pods and a free Nurse helpline to families. The funds you raise will go towards continuing to run these service and help change childrens’ lives.
Rachel’s Story
Rachel ran for us as a way to say thank you for helping her family:
“I really enjoyed the experience of running and raising money for Newlife. Prior to the run I was a bit nervous but motivated by the fact that I was raising money for such a worthwhile cause. Newlife have been fantastic in providing us with much-needed equipment loans and support from their many services.”
Oakley’s Story
Two-year-old Oakley has Cerebral Palsy. At night he would try to climb out of his cot, injuring himself, so Newlife provided a specialist bed:
Mum Paige said: “Oakley can’t escape from his new bed meaning we know he is going to be safe in there. There are holes for his feeding tube so it’s so much easier – and it means we aren’t worried about him pulling on it. His new bed has really helped.”
