The day Frankie fell asleep, his daddy James was due to run the Manchester 10k. Frankie was so excited to watch daddy race!

To mark the anniversary of this one year later we planned to run the Manchester 10k in May 2020. We assembled Frankie's Army, started fundraising and training!! .........And then covid hit and ruined all of our plans! 

We persevered with our fundraising that year and raised a whopping £20,000 with people doing 10 things for sponsorship.

After many, many different dates, we now know that the race is definitely going ahead on Sunday 26th September 2021!! We are ready (ish!!) and raring to go! 

The training has begun again and more than that, we know it will be an uplifting and positive day. A day full of love and smiles for the smiliest boy there ever was.

We raise money for SUDC UK who support families and fund research into these tragedies, with the hope that one day they will be predictable and preventable. 

Thank you so much for your donation towards the work of SUDC UK, it really does mean so much.

We know that Frankie's legacy is to save other children and ensure that children like him can stay here for longer. 

With much love, Sarah- Frankie's mummy
