What an unforgettable evening at our Gala last Friday! ✨

With over 250 supporters in the room, we celebrated 300 years of learning, experience and excellence, and shared a first glimpse of our new campus — a campus that will place St James’s among the top five academic health science campuses in Europe and establish us as a global leader in healthcare.

Special thanks to our Foundation Board for their constant support and to and for sharing their personal connections to St James’s.

And of course, a huge thank you to everyone else who attended, supported, and donated - your generosity and spirit make life-changing care, research, and innovation possible for our patients and community 💙

🏃‍♀️ Meet Niamh 🏃‍♀️

This year, Niamh will take on her fourth marathon — but for the very first time, she’s running to raise funds for St James’s Hospital Foundation in memory of her mum 💙

“St James’s Hospital volunteers were exceptional during Mum’s time there and were a huge support to Ailbhe and me in her final days. Mum loved marathon day with the ‘Believe’ sign. Your support — whether through a donation or by sharing this page — means the world. Every step counts. Every share helps. Thank you so much!”

We’re so grateful to have Niamh as part of Team St James’s as she takes on this challenge.

If you’ve got a marathon ticket, why not join Niamh and 23 other runners this year and run for St James’s?

We’ve set up a WhatsApp group to keep our runners connected and supported with:
✨ Training tips from our hospital physios and dietitians
✨ Fundraising advice and ideas
✨ Plenty of encouragement in the final weeks before race day!

We’ll also send you a St James’s running t-shirt and sponsorship cards to help you on your journey.
