Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After 3 years of applying for a place in the Virgin Money London Marathon, I am lucky enough to have been given a place this year!

On Sunday 28th April 2019 I will be running the London Marathon. Not only is this going to be a personal achievement, I also hope to raise money and awareness of a local charity, Little Roos. 

Little Roos are a local charity that provide additional intensive care cots and much more for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Each Neonatal Intensive care cot costs in the region of £80,000 to fully equip, and have  also have been able to purchase an ultrasound machine (£60k), equipment to help babies breathe (£4k to £20k each), a breast milk pasteurizer (£19k) and devices for treating and monitoring potential brain injury (£20k).

There is always an ongoing need for additional and replacement specialist equipment, and also to send staff for specialist training that the NHS cannot provide funding for.

The Little Roo Neonatal Fund therefore raises money to provide the support that the St. Peter’s Neonatal Unit continues to require to offer the highest standards of intensive care for babies born in Surrey and further afield.

I hope to see you in London on April 28th! 

Thank you
