My story

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Sadly our son Luke was stillborn at 30 weeks in June 09 and we want to make a difference from his short little life.

Since we set this page up just over a year ago we have been so overwhelmed with all the support we have received and been shown.

So so much goodness has come from Luke's name and we are very proud.

The very last challenge of our fundraising efforts is me - running the London Marathon. Many of you won't understand my excitment in doing this - but for me it is five years in the making and for someone who is very impatient it is the longest ever I have had to wait!

After deferring last year as I was pregnant with Oscar it is with great pleasure I ask you to sponsor me for our last fundraising effort.

Gav and I will never stop doing things in Lukes name and Millie has already announced she too will run for him one day! So watch this space!!!!!

Thank you, thank you for helping us smash our target and raise money for this ever so important charity.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
