In February 2004, the neonatal team at St George's saved my son Dylan's life when he was born at 29 weeks weighing 1lb 15oz. When I read that they were trying to raise £40,000 for new neonatal cots, I decided to try and give something back so they can carry on providing fantastic care for other premature and poorly babies.

I will be running the Sussex Beacon Half Marathon in February, and to spur me on I would love for everyone I know to just give £1 or whatever they can afford, so that I can help with the fundraising effort. I promise to train hard and complete the run (the longest I have done) and your encouragement is keeping me motivated, thank you!

Dylan is now a healthy five year old thanks to the fundraising efforts of others - now it's my turn!
