Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page.

On March 7 I will be attempting to run the Bath ½ Marathon in aid of the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at RUH (Forever Friends Appeal).

Two years ago our gorgeous twins Ed and Joss were born very prematurely, and spent their first two months of life being cared for at RUH NICU.

The medical care they received was outstanding. The doctors worked expertly and tirelessly, initially to save their lives, and then to protect and promote their quality of life. We feel so blessed that Ed and Joss have become two very bonny, healthy toddlers, and we will be eternally indebted to RUH NICU for all they did for our boys. 

Whilst the care is first rate, the existing NICU facilities are not. For the last 3 years the RUH has been fundraising to build a new NICU, which will provide premature or seriously ill babies and their families a more supportive and healing environment, based on concepts of holistic care and sustainability, alongside medical excellence. It is set to become the blueprint for the NHS, for neonatal intensive care units, and they are entering the final fundraising phase. For more details on this pioneering concept in neonatal care please visit www.foreverfriendsappeal.co.uk


That is why I decided to buy some trainers and attempt this personal challenge… A ½ Marathon might not be an athletic feat akin to climbing Everest or rowing the Atlantic, but given my previous fitness levels I can only say it’s all relative! I would be very grateful if you are kind enough to sponsor me, and rest assured that truly every penny will spur me on to cross that blasted finishing line! – and thereby raise money for this wonderful project in neonatal care.

Thank you.
