Starting on May 28th, Renacres Hospital staff embarked on an inspiring week-long marathon event to raise funds for Elsie’s Story Charitable Trust. Founded by Elsie’s parents in her memory after the tragic Southport attack in July 2024, Elsie’s Story is our chosen charity for 2025.
Our Hospital Director, Mark Jonker, challenged our team to run a marathon a day for five days in support of this meaningful cause. We are thrilled to announce that our team not only met that challenge, but went beyond! We raised an incredible £2,080.00 and covered a total of 219.96 miles—just shy of 8.4 marathons!
Mark Jonker shared his excitement: “I didn’t know how this would go when I first proposed it; I am absolutely delighted and really proud. To everyone involved—the runners, supporters, collectors, donators, organizers, communicators, and more—thank you so much. I am taken aback by how everyone embraced this event. You should all be proud. Go Team Renacres!”
