THE Princess Alexandra Hospital Charity is looking for keen runners to represent their charity in the 2023 TCS London Marathon. The charity currently has three open positions for participants to run, jog, or walk their way through the marathon which is due to take place on 23 April 2023.

The Princess Alexandra Hospital Charity supports all of the hospital’s patients, people, and visitors. The charity enhances patient care, purchases special equipment, improves facilities, and invests in vital research that supports patients now and into the future.

Gary Taylor, head of charity at The Princess Alexandra Hospital Charity, said: “We are very excited to share this opportunity to take part in the London Marathon.

“We understand the uncertainty of landing a place through the London Marathon ballot, so this is a great opportunity to secure a spot in the race, all while raising money for a great cause.

“We are always extremely grateful for any contributions towards our charity, and this will be an excellent way to help us fundraise and support our patients and our people.”

To be considered for one of the three available spaces for the London Marathon, interested applicants will need to submit 50 words that explains what it would mean to them to represent the hospital’s charity at the event, along with how much they hope to raise in sponsorship.

Entries should be sent to [email protected] by 25 November 2022 and successful participants will be contacted with further details. Successful entrants will be required to raise a minimum of £500 in sponsorship.
