About Jersey to Southampton Hospital Challenge 2023

The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation supports families who have children requiring medical treatment home or abroad.

Throughout February we are challenging you, or a team of 2-6, to walk, run or jog the distance from Jersey Hospital to Southampton Hospital, a total of 164 miles, to raise money for The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation which exists to support Jersey families in need of medical treatment home or abroad.

The challenge can be completed inside or outside across February and can be tackled individually, as a family or in teams.

We suggest using the Strava app to track your progress or any other fitness tracking app or watch that you are comfortable using. 

The challenge is free to enter but we ask that each entrant aims to raise a minimum of £50 for The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation. On registering you will be given an individual online fundraising page where you can share to get people to donate online.

Remember to share your progress with us online by tagging us on Facebook and Instagram using #164forGrace

The event is kindly supported by Brooks Macdonald.

Fundraising Information

This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:


The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation

The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation was set up in January 2011, in memory of Grace Crocker, who grew her angel wings aged 11 weeks. Grace was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (A congenital heart disorder in which the left side of the heart, particularly the left ventricle, is underdeveloped. The first part of the aorta may also be abnormal. Affected babies usually develop severe heart failure within the first few days of life), and had open-heart surgery when she was just 5 days old. Her family lived in Jersey, and so they had to move to Southampton for three months whilst Grace recovered from her surgery, including her brother and sister as well as her mum and dad. She met lots of friends and family when she was allowed back home to Jersey, and in the month that she was home, she touched so many people’s lives. As a result of our own experience, we set up this charity with the support of friends and family, with the aim to help other families from Jersey who need to spend time in the UK whilst their child receives medical treatment in a hospital. It is worrying enough when your child is sick, without being faced with additional financial worries, and so we would love to help families in some way, by providing them with some financial assistance and emotional support too.
