Demelza Hospice Care for Children

Extraordinary care for extraordinary children


We’re incredibly proud to be the official charity partner for Run Kent 2026 – and we’d love you to be part of Team Demelza this October! 
 
By taking on this challenge for Demelza, you're not just running a race, you are supporting your local children's hospice. We rely on the support of our local community to ensure that we can continue to deliver extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions in your local area. 
 
Right now, the number of children living with serious or life-limiting conditions is increasing every year and many need 24-hour care and support. At Demelza, we want life to be the best it can be for these children, and for those who love them. We support families wherever it is best for them: at our hospices or at home, online, at school and in local communities. 
 
Whether you choose to complete the 5km, 10km or half marathon, every mile you run and every pound you raise will make a real difference. Take the first step in making a difference today and register for Run Kent with Demelza.

  • Half price entry to all routes for Run Kent
  • A Demelza running vest to wear with pride
  • Top training tips and ongoing support
  • Dedicated guidance and fundraising materials from our events team to help you reach your fundraising goals
