The Daisy Appeal
Registered Charity No. 1095652
The Daisy Appeal was launched in 2002, and has already reached a fundraising target of £6.5million, which funded the new Hull & East Yorkshire Medical Research and Teaching centre on the Castle Hill Hospital Site.
The appeal is now aiming to raise £4.5 million to fund a cyclotron and a small research laboratory which will allow medical staff to utilise the new fixed site PET/CT scanning facility on the Castle Hill Hospital site, which will aid research into heart disease and cancer and benefit patients living in surrounding regions, who come to Hull for investigation, assessment and treatment of the diseases.

Charity Spots
The Hull 10k event is being organised on a not for profit basis. The reason for the event is to raise monies for a whole range of charities. As a result The Jane Tomlinson Appeal is firmly opposed to "Golden Bonds" i.e. places sold at higher than normal cost in return for taking part on behalf of a particular charity in return for raising a minimum amount of sponsorship. The Hull 10k is a "Run For All" event and as such we want places to be available freely on a first come first served basis.
Any charity may purchase a block of places at face value however The Jane Tomlinson Appeal will not allow these places to be sold on at anything more than cost. In addition, The Jane Tomlinson Appeal will not allow a minimum level of sponsorship to be set although a suggested minimum is acceptable.
If you are a charity and wish to apply for some race entries then please contact us on charity@runforall.com providing details of your requirements and we will endeavour to assist.
