Story

I am running my first ever half marathon on Sunday 8th May to raise money for a local north London charity called Spread a Smile. Spread a Smile is dedicated to improving the time spent by seriously ill children in hospital. This charity provides entertainers for very poorly children and teenagers who are in hospital, often for prolonged periods of time. With life limiting conditions like cancer, heart lung and kidney related illnesses.

Your generous donations will help pay for a whole host of entertainers such as fairies, pirates, musicians, magicians, face painters and poets into paediatric wards, Great Ormond street and University College Hospital.

Spread a smiles aim is to divert patients attention away from their treatment. stimulate their minds and to alleviate the boredom and monotony associated with sustained hospital stays. This charity also extends its services to siblings who are also deeply affected by the illness of their sister or brother.
