Join Team ECHC today! 

Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge for 2021? Will you sign up for the Scottish Half Marathon and help us transform the experiences of children in hospital, so they can be a child first and a patient second? 

Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity (ECHC) is a local, independent charity dedicated to supporting the work of the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People, as well as other community healthcare settings. We work in partnership with the NHS to enhance their provision and provide the best care possible for young patients, to make both theirs and their families experience as stress free as possible. We also focus on and encourage innovation and with constant advancements in technology, we are able to assist with, or wholly fund, the most up to date and innovative medical equipment, helping a great hospital become a world class facility.

The Scottish Half Marathon offers a fantastic opportunity for you to dust off your running shoes, improve your fitness and raise sponsorship to help children in hospital. It's a win win situation! We'll provide you with a sponsor pack, online giving page, running vest and ongoing support. We'll even be there on the day to cheer you on and welcome you to our hospitality tent at the finish line. It is only £15 to register and we ask that you please pledge to raise £250 in sponsorship. 

Thank you so much for considering Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity. We really hope you can join us!
