As many of you will know on the 7th of November 2015 our beautiful baby boy Oisin Kevin was born into the world. Sadly, Oisin was born with a condition called LUTO with PUV which caused many problems with his lungs and kidneys. After a short but brave fight and outstanding neo natal care Oisin passed away 7 hours and 11 minutes after he was born.

Kevin and I want to do something in Oisin's memory and to make him proud of us. We have decided (with the help of our two great families and friends) to put forward two teams for the Belfast Marathon to raise funds for the Neo Natal Unit in the Royal. This unit not only provided the essential care that gave Oisin the best possible chance of survival but it did so with such great care, love and support. Through a truly awful time the nurses and doctors made everything that bit easier for us as parents and most importantly for our wee man.

During our short time there we got to see first hand the essential machinery, equipment and medicine that is needed for this unit along with all the other smaller day to day things required to keep it running. The money raised will go to the unit to help other wee babies in their time of need.
