Why fundraise for Tree of Hope?
These events are so epic and fun, but let’s not forget the reason why they exist. Run for Charity events do exactly what it says on the tin – it is to raise much-needed funds for our charity.

Tree of Hope supports families of children and young people with serious health conditions or disabilities, helping them raise the funds they need for medical treatment, therapy, and equipment that isn’t freely available through the NHS. By fundraising for Tree of Hope, you’re not only challenging yourself—you’re giving children the chance to access life-changing care and support, and giving them the opportunities that we, all too often, take for granted.

1. Every step, every mile, every challenge counts
   Whether you’re running, walking, or even leaping from great heights, the funds you raise directly improve lives. Your efforts provide real, tangible support for children and families who need it most.
2. A cause that inspires
   Tree of Hope is more than a charity—it’s a community of hope, resilience, and determination. By fundraising, you’re part of a powerful movement helping children live fuller, happier lives.
3. Events for everyone
   Not all fundraising has to look the same. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a thrill-seeker, or simply want to enjoy a day outdoors with friends, Tree of Hope’s catalogue of events can provide you with just that.

When you sign up for a Tree of Hope event, you’re not just crossing a finish line—you’re helping a child take their first step, access vital treatment, or achieve a brighter future. That’s a finish line worth running towards.
