Richard Whitehurst to run London Marathon

Richard Whitehurst to run London Marathon for MedEquip4KidsOur supporter Richard Whitehurst is taking on the impressive challenge of running the Virgin Money London Marathon 2021 for us this Sunday 3 October. Richard is a member of Bowdon Business Club, which has generously supported MedEquip4Kids for the past few years.

Richard says: “I was delighted when MedEquip4Kids offered me the chance to run in the London Marathon. It’s always been a challenge I wanted to take on. To tell the truth, I’m a terrible long distance runner, but started racing triathlons a couple of years ago, and Evelyn [our project co-ordinator] saw me on a training run with my dog. MedEquip4Kids is special to me because it was founded at Booth Hall Hospital, where my Nan used to be a teacher.”

We wish Richard all the very best for the big day. You can sponsor him here.

“This donation has enabled us to use more varied and useful therapeutic toys and games when working with children and young people with mental health difficulties, as well as using extra clinic rooms which are now more child-friendly. This has helped reduced anxiety about coming to CAMHS and meant that family therapy can be done. Both parents of a 10 year old boy can now attend with their 5 year old as the youngest child can play with our new resources in the waiting room or clinic space. The 10 year old benefited from therapeutic games about thoughts/feelings and we were also able to observe imaginative play for assessment.”
