Meet Team SignHealth

Some of our wonderful supporters are lacing up their running shoes this weekend to take part in the British 10k to raise funds for SignHealth.

It’s the 15th anniversary of the run which passes some famous London landmarks, including Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral. The runners will finish close to Horse Guards Parade.

We’d like you to meet some of the people behind the running vests. Click on each photo to find out why they’re running and raising money for SignHealth.

Rachael – Why I’m running for SignHealth

“Learning British Sign Language and studying deaf culture had made me aware of the inequality faced by deaf people every day in their healthcare. But it was seeing this infuriating struggle first hand with one of my best friends that really brought it home. The work of SignHealth is vital and must continue; no question.”

“My reasons for doing the 10k vary but also seem to intertwine. As an individual living with depression I was seeking a fitness goal for my own health when they asked me to join the team, and I found this opened my eyes further to what an incredible charity they are.”
