Shout out to our incredible runner Kristen whose London Marathon run was her 6th marathon in the Abbott World Marathon Majors and raised an incredible £2,225! Kristen is a paediatric oncology nurse and was inspired to share the healing power of live music."The London Marathon was an unforgettable experience! I chose to run for Music in Hospitals and Care because I see the impact of this important work every day in my job as a pediatric oncology nurse back home, and in my own life as a choral singer.Music is so healing for my patients and families and we rely heavily on it in many aspects of our work day, whether it's used to calm a child down prior to a procedure, or used as their parade song when they leave us after finishing their chemotherapy course.For me personally, singing has been a lifelong healing practice and has been a source of joy and solace. Running for an organization with core values that resonate with my own is so important to me and I'm glad to have gotten to support Music in Hospitals & Care while running my last world marathon major in London!
