Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm doing this for the Early Birth Association which raises money for the Trevor Mann Baby Unit (TMBU) in The Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton. My twins, Isabella and Maddalena were born very prematurely at just 23 weeks. Heartbreakingly Isabella went to sleep in my arms after a brave 3 week fight. Maddalena defied all the odds and came home after 19 weeks at the TMBU. At only 13.5 ozs (382g) she is one of the smallest survivng premature babies in the world!  

The staff of the TMBU were amazing not only in helping my miracle to survive but also in supporting me during those difficult times. Maddalena is now doing incredibly well and I want to help other babies and families that face this heartbreaking and stressful time.

So please dig deep as monies raised can help buy a range of equipment vital for running the TMBU (from incubators to tiny premature sized clothing.) 

I'm running with 9 of my friends on the day who hold this charity dear to their hearts; Mark Elwood, Lucy O'connel, Rachel Johnson, Natasha Baker, Lily Cushing, Michelle Bates ,  Hayley Light, Kirsty Marshall and Rebecca Smart Im looking forward to raising lots of money with you all!
