Episode 23: Caroline Coates / Harry's HAT

The Charity Runner
In this episode of ‘Run The Business,’ Ant talks to the mother of a young boy, whose medical condition led her to set up a charity to fund research into it.
Harry’s Hydrocephalus Awareness Trust (Harry’s HAT) was founded by Caroline Coates in 2018, to help children and their families who are affected by hydrocephalus (which is sometimes known as water on the brain), after Caroline’s son, Harry, was diagnosed with the condition during her pregnancy. Caroline recently took up the post of CEO at the charity.
This episode explores the ways that Caroline uses running to help her clear her head, but also as a vehicle for raising vital funds for the charity. She also talks about her background working in the charity sector over the years and how social media plays such a huge part in the success of her charity.
