On Tuesday 20th February at 4:34am Kimberley and I welcomed into the world our gorgeous baby boy, Brodie Alexander.

The experience we had, as traumatic as it was, was incredible! From the IVF clinic who gave Kimberley and I the smallest glimmer of hope that one day we would become a mummy and daddy, to the midwives and doctors who helped and supported us throughout the labour, and to the neonatal team who administered and looked after our baby boy, and my beautiful wife, when they were in need of a wee helping hand following the labour, I want to say thank you! We will be forever grateful. For those of you going through a similar struggle, try to stay positive, believe me...miracles really do happen!

It’s not much, but as a small thank you my brother and I are running the Edinburgh half marathon in May and in doing so wanted to raise what we can in aid of the Aberdeen Maternity Ward and all those involved.

I would be extremely grateful if you could contribute whatever you can, no matter how small.

Thank you, love Brodie, Kimberley and I aka Daddy x
