Story

The Paris Dream Team is raising money for a range of charities including Children's charities, Cancer Charities...
I'm running Paris for my daughter, Chloe Annabel Ungi, who was born asleep on the 13th April 2011. On the 3rd May in Jarrow, Tyne & Wear we laid her to rest.

Chloe died on Group B Strep, which is a bacterium carried by a quarter of all women, and the UK is one of the few countries where women are not tested for GBS. A simple, cheap test would have saved her life. The charity aims at raising awareness, and pressing the government and medical board to start testing for GBS, as well as obviously giving huge support to the families who lose a child.

I decided to run the Paris Marathon and was soon joined by some incredible people who would love your support while we treck around the French Capital on the 15th April 2012. So thank you on behalf of... Chloe Annabel, Ben Armstrong, Big Tommy, Little Tom, David Day, Stefan, James Woodley, James Lawless, Craig Johnstone, Lee Cordingley, Billy Dixon, Des Conway, Andy Hill, Andy Walton, Mark Dixon, Andrew West, Safraz Zavahir, Ed Atkins, Jonny Clemence, Richard Hough, Matty Thomas, Tony Atkins,

Thank you for your support.
