Run to Say Thank You!
Have you, or someone you love, felt the care, compassion, and dedication of NHS Lothian staff? For many of us, those moments in hospital—when a kind word, a reassuring smile, or expert care made all the difference—stay with us forever.
Taking on a run for NHS Lothian Charity is more than a personal challenge. It’s a way to give back, to honour the care you or your loved one received, and to show your appreciation for the people who were there when it mattered most.By joining our team of Charity Champions, every step you take could help fund:
- Groundbreaking research that keeps families together longer
- Calming, healing spaces that bring comfort during difficult times
- Free complementary therapies for cancer and palliative care patients facing their toughest days
- And so much more to support patients, families, and staff across Edinburgh and the Lothians

We have places in all the races:
