My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I have set myself the challenge of running the Birmingham half marathon on 11th October '09. The reason is to raise money for a UK based charity called Bliss, who provide care for premature and sick babies, and support families through these trying times. This charity is important to me because recently my cousin gave birth to her beautiful triplets prematurely at six months, but tragically two of them passed away after only a few days. Phoebe, the remaining triplet is stable now but needs lots of special care over the forthcoming months.

My motivation is to run this half marathon in memory of Boris and Nelson, and also in celebration of the birth of Phoebe Vandendriessche. So please dig deep into your pockets - any donations are greatly appreciated and will make a real difference to other babies in similar situations.

Many thanks for your support,

Anna xx
