My Story
I'm running the London Marathon 2026 as part of Team Starlight!
I'm very proud to represent Starlight in the London Marathon. Children in hospital often experience life changing trauma and fear, and I'm so impressed by Starlights mission to incorporate play into clinical settings. It's so important to ensure children understand what's going on around them in a child appropriate way, as well as providing them with the opportunity to play as any child would.
The healing power of play
At first glance, it’s easy to think that play happens when the important stuff is taken care of. But for children, play is central to the way they learn and cope with new challenges.
That’s why Starlight are committed to making play matter so much, it becomes an intrinsic part of every child’s healthcare pathway. They want to create a world where it’s official policy that play is a prerequisite on every child’s medical treatment plan.
Starlight are there to help all decision-makers understand the importance of play, leading thinking on its potential for positive impact, with the science to back it up.
