Story

Every year I try and raise as much as possible for this amazing charity. I do this in memory of my superhero nephew Brook. This year I will be doing it in memory of 2 more little angles that were taken to soon.  

This year I am walking 50k along the sussex coast from Martello tower in seaford to the blue reef aquarium in Hastings carrying a 20kg army Bergen. I was booked to do the SAS selection event, The Fan Dance which is 24k walk over the Bracon Beacons carrying a 20kg army Bergen, but covid put a stop to it, so Iv doubled the distance. 

I raise money for the early birth association as they support the trevor mann baby unit which is very close to mine and my families heart, after my nephew was born prematurely, they worked wonders to give us all the most precious 3 weeks of our lives with Brook before he lost his battle against a undiagnosed condition. This little boy was a true super hero and the bravest person Iv ever known and someone I will always look up to.

Craig and Laura’s story: 

 Calli Jane Curchin: On the 30.10.2020 Calli Jane Curchin was born at 22 weeks. Unfortunately at our 20 week scan we found out that Calli was very poorly indeed and might not even make it to full term. We made the very difficult decision to end Calli’s life and save her a whole world of pain. 

It was most difficult decision for us, but the right one for our daughter and she will always be our first born child, we will never forget how tiny but completely perfect she was.

We have learnt so much from this heartbreaking time in our lives and we will now walk through life with our eyes opened to the fact that not every pregnancy has a happy ending. We will share our experience and hopefully help others because it is not talked about enough.

Graham and Karen’s story: 

Morgan Jessica Leach: Morgan was born sleeping on 15th December Weighing 7.4 pounds. This perfect little girl was born sleeping but will be looking down with pride and love on her family. 

Please donate and help this amazing cause in memory of these little angels that were to perfect for this world. 💙💖💖
