Story

In 2023 I will undertake 12 half marathons: one a month and raising money for the Hull NICU baby unit ward. Back in 2020 when the world was in lockdown my good friends Adam and Emma were expecting twins with a due date of December however the twins were born premature by over 3 months. Marnie and
Raven McGowan were born on the 10th September and spent their first few months in the Hull NICU Baby Unit. The care & support the NICU team managed over this period was amazing for the twins and the parents – especially when the country was going back into a lockdown and the NHS being stretched.

The list of my runs I have booked so far are below and I plan to book the second half of the year shortly. I urge people not to just sponsor me but also join me on one of the runs below to help raise more for this amazing cause. Adam will be running his first ever half marathon in June and please get in touch if you fancy one of these races. Please look out on social media for updates on each run and my progress throughout the year.
