This year, Challenge yourself

Join Team RMHC UK at an exciting running event in 2026!

Everyone can make a difference. Challenge yourself this year and raise money for families with children in hospital.

Thank you to the hundreds of people who chose to challenge themselves for #RMHCUK in 2025. Not only did they have a fantastic experience, they raised vital funds to support families with a child in hospital.

This year, we’re asking you to;

challenge yourself,

and take on one of our Running Events.

Your support provides families with the everyday comforts that mean everything: a warm bed just moments from their child’s hospital bedside, a kitchen to make a hot meal, and a place to rest and breathe during the hardest time of their lives.

Running my first half marathon, I pushed through the challenge by thinking of children in hospital and how I was helping to support their families.

– fundraiser, Leah

Did you know?

This year, thousands of families will need a Ronald McDonald House.

Every day, families will travel miles to and from the hospital to visit their sick child.

Specialist children’s hospitals often don’t have room for parents to stay. Families can be found sleeping on the ward, in corridors or their car, just to stay close to their sick child.

We exist to give families somewhere safe to stay for free, for as long as they need.

Do something amazing this year.

Impact the lives of families with children in hospital.
