Raising money for

Tiny Lives

Charity Registration No. 700510

The Special Care Baby Unit at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne specialises is saving babies lives. Every year, 600 premature or ill newborn babies are admitted to the hospital from across the North East, with up to 34 babies being looked after at any one time. Many of these tiny babies can be extremely ill or require intensive care. Tiny Lives was set up to support the Newcastle Neonatal Service by helping raise funds to buy extras not provided by the NHS.

I completed all three marathons! My target for each one was four hours so I was really happy with my times. I also completed two of the three half marathons (I was unable to do Coventry due to a nasty chest infection).

Glasgow Half Marathon (6th Sep): COMPLETED - 1h 44m 28s

Nottingham Marathon (13th Sep): COMPLETED - 3h 59m 49s

Great North Run (20th Sep): COMPLETED - 1h 51m 00s

Cologne Marathon (4th Oct): COMPLETED - 3h 55m 59s

Eindhoven Marathon (11th Oct): COMPLETED - 3h 59m 14s

I've finished running for the year but there is still time to sponsor me and donate to a fantastic cause.

Tiny Lives is a Newcastle-based charity for prematurely-born children and is an extremely worthy cause. Your donation will help to pay for the day-to-day care and the maintenance of the Special Care Baby Unit at the RVI hospital.

If you have anything to offer Tiny Lives, please do so as they do fantastic work that makes a real difference to people's lives. Don't forget to claim Gift Aid if you are a UK tax-payer.
