About us

We have choosen to run London Marathon as part of our wedding celebrations. One of the ways we are hoping to raise money is to ask for donations to this charity instead of wedding gifts. Please look out for future events we will be organising to fundraise further, including a quiz night and gaming event.

For Helen this is a chance to run London Marathon for the first time, having volunteered at the event & organising the Bedford Harriers coach to the event for many years.

For Richard, completing the London Marathon will be the final part of 'The London Classics' - Swim Serpintine (2 mile swim), Ride London (100 mile cycle) & The London Marathon.

The Bedford Hospital Charity and Friends funds additional equipment, supports medical research and provides the extras that make being in hospital a more comfortable and a less distressing experience for patients and their families. They rely on various fundraising activities, generous donations and gifts in kind to keep providing high quality care to patients and support our staff wellbeing. 

For Richard, completing the London Marathon will be the final part of 'The London Classics' - Swim Serpintine (2 mile swim), Ride London (100 mile cycle) & The London Marathon.

Bedford Hospital Charity & Friends raises funds to support patients & staff at Bedford Hospital by providing equipment & improving facilities – all to ensure the continued excellence of the provision of care in Bedford. Some of the projects they fund include the Primrose Car Service and they are currently raising money for the new Children's Cancer Services Appeal.

We are both Bedford born and bred and are passionate about supporting the local community. We have both experienced first-hand how Bedford Hospital supports our family and friends and seen the vital work that this charity does and it means a lot to us to support this cause. Thank you very much for any funds you can donate.
