My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the London Marathon 2012 in memory of two very special little boys, Jacob and George Matthews-Rumens, who were born at 23+4 and 24+1 weeks gestation respectively. Although they put up one hell of a fight, they were sadly only with us a little while.

During their short lives they made an enormous impact on their mummy and daddy and we hope that their names will live on through Bliss and the good work that they do.

Bliss are a special care baby charity, providing vital support and care to premature and sick babies across the UK. They offer guidance and information at a critical time in families' lives and also fund ground-breaking research and campaign for babies to receive the best possible level of care regardless of when and where they are born.

Please donate generously in memory of our gorgeous boys who we are so proud of, so that other families may not have to go through what we have experienced.

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.
