Join Frimley Health Charity’s annual run to support life-changing care

Frimley Health Charity fundraisers return with stories of hope and gratitude ahead of the annual Run Frimley event at Frimley Lodge Park.

Frimley Health Charity’s annual Run Frimley charity event will take place on Sunday, May 4th, 2025, at Frimley Lodge Park. The event will raise vital funds for Frimley Health Charity, celebrating the exceptional care Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust provides.

This popular community event attracts participants with deeply personal connections to the Trust, including Michael Bates, who completed last year’s 10K run. Michael and his wife Kellie’s world changed dramatically when their son Mylo was born ten weeks premature on September 10th, 2022.

“The first six weeks of Mylo’s life were spent in Frimley Park Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit,” explains Michael. “The level of help and support the Unit’s staff gave us was unimaginable. We wouldn’t have coped or survived without their help, and our little bundle wouldn’t be where he is today.”

Another grateful participant, Laura shares how Frimley Park has been instrumental in her son Aaron’s care journey. After noticing developmental delays, Dr Kian Lee took Laura’s concerns seriously, leading to extensive investigations. “If it wasn’t for Dr Lee’s dedication and unwillingness to give up on Aaron, I feel this diagnosis could have taken many more years,” says Laura. In January 2023, Aaron was diagnosed with KBG Syndrome, an extremely rare genetic disorder with only around 400 known cases worldwide.

“These powerful stories illustrate why events like Run Frimley are so important”, says Megan Parry, Events Manager at Frimley Health Charity.

“The funds raised directly support departments like the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Paediatric A&E, enabling our dedicated healthcare professionals to provide exceptional care to patients like Mylo and Aaron.”

The Run Frimley event offers something for everyone, with routes suitable for all ages and abilities. Participants can register online at https://www.frimleyhealthcharity.org/event/run-frimley-2025/ or sign up on the day. All proceeds will benefit Frimley Health Charity, supporting vital services across Frimley Park Hospital.
