Fundraising stories

Ian Callaghan

Chair of Lincs Run Club, Ian ran 5k every hour for 24 hours

"I wanted to choose a challenge that would involve a lot more people and get them to join in. Raising money for St Barnabas has been brilliant. They’re there at the end of a phone and their communication is brilliant."

27-year-old Jess Meakin joins exhilarating Fire Walk

“I was inspired to take part in the Fire Walk as I have lost many loved ones who were supported by St Barnabas. I felt reflective of the hard times my loved ones had experienced and wished they had been there to watch and laugh as I walked on fire.”
