In October I am running my first marathon, the London marathon, in support of Evie’s Night Owls.

Evie’s Night Owls is a respite care project run by Camp Simcha in memory of Evie Bladon z”l. After suffering from oxygen deprivation during her birth in 2012, Evie was born with severe brain damage. Her initial MRI was devastating - she wasn’t expected to make it past 48 hours but she was a fighter who went on to celebrate three birthdays. 

The trauma Evie had suffered during her birth resulted in multiple health issues including cerebral palsy, global developmental delay, epilepsy, severe visual impairment as well as a number of other medical problems which unfortunately resulted in a limited life expectancy and the need for 24/7 care.

With your support The Evie Night Owls project will be able to expand its respite care and provide opportunities for relief for parents of a child with a serious or life threatening illness.
