Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 21st January 2015 my niece Scarlett was born 9 weeks early weighing 2lb 13oz. My sister-in-law Hannah had a placental abruption and had to have an emergency C section. She was at Addenbrooks Hospital -  miles from home, her family and her older daughter Trinity.

The Sick Children's Trust gave her and her partner a place to stay at the hospital where they could be near to Scarlett but also have Trinity to stay with them so no one felt left out.

Without this charity, things would have been a lot harder and we all appreciate it greatly and want to give something back.

Running the London Marathon in 2016 is a way to say thank you and make sure that in the future, other mums get the same help.
