Story

On the 30th Jan 2018, after passing the 40 week mark of a relatively stress free pregnancy, we got the tragic news that our son Oliver had passed away. He was born sleeping the very next day. 

This is easily the hardest thing we have ever had to get through but we have managed to do this with the help from charities such as Abigail's Footsteps. We have been lucky enough to be able to add to our family with the addition of our second son George last year. This was obviously a difficult and stressful time for us but the help and aid that Abigail's Footsteps provided during this tense time was invaluable.

Therefore, Jayne and I have decided to raise money in Oliver's memory for Abigail's Footsteps so they can continue to assist families who have gone through the same ordeals as us. 

There are a few events we will be holding during 2021 but this JustGiving page is to sponsor me running the Brighton Marathon as well as the London Landmarks Half Marathon. It will be a huge challenge personally for me so we really appreciate your donations.

Thank you very much!

Tom, Jayne and George Gower
