Say hello to our fundraisers
Our fundraisers are everyday people doing extraordinary things. From bake sales and fun runs to brave challenges and creative ideas, they’re all working hard to raise money which will bring comfort, joy and brighter experiences to those using our NHS services.
By saying hello, cheering them on, or giving a small donation, you can help them reach their goals - and make an even bigger difference for our patients, carers and staff.
Whether you’re supporting a friend, discovering a new cause, or just love seeing people do good things for others, we’d love you to join in. Every message of support, every share, and every pound donated helps brighten someone’s day.
Together, we can help our fundraisers shine, and help our communities live brighter, more fulfilling lives.
Hi, we’re Clare and Kat, sisters, best friends, and Advanced Clinical Practitioners with over 15 years in the NHS. We’re taking on the 2026 London Marathon together to raise money for Brighterway, supporting staff and patients across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
For us, running is our time to talk, unwind and look after our mental health. That’s why Brighterway means so much. They fund the small things that make a big difference from wellbeing projects to calming spaces and activities that help people feel cared for.
If you can, please donate - even the price of a coffee helps Brighterway continue their amazing work.

Hi, I’m Steve, and I’m running the London Marathon for Brighterway a true bucket‑list moment after being unsuccessful in the ballot at least five times! I’m thrilled to finally have a charity place for this once‑in‑a‑lifetime event.
This will be my sixth marathon, so I know the dedication and determination it takes to get to the start line. Running has always helped me stay fit both physically and mentally, and I’ve loved the atmosphere, support and sense of achievement that every race brings.
Having worked in the NHS in Hampshire since 1987, I’ve seen first-hand how Brighterway helps staff provide care that goes above and beyond what the NHS alone can fund. That’s why supporting this charity means so much to me.
Every mile I run will help fund projects that improve the health and wellbeing of people across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Every donation, big or small, keeps me moving and helps brighten lives. Thank you so much for your support. Click here to donate.
Hi, I’m Amber, Admin Team Lead at Elmleigh, and I’m running the London Marathon to raise money for Brighterway and support our patients.
I started running in 2020 and have since completed several 5Ks, 10Ks, the Great South Run and regular park runs. Running the marathon has always been a dream, and I’m excited to take it on.
When I’m not running, I love being outdoors, hiking, and keeping active with friends. Fundraising means a lot to me, and every donation helps Brighterway make a real difference.
Thank you for supporting my marathon journey! Click here to donate.
