London Landmarks Half Marathon 2022 · 3 April 2022 ·

Remember Rufus has been set up in memory of our beautiful firstborn son, Rufus Harry Jude Key, who was stillborn on 11th October 2020 due to a silent placenta abruption at 39 weeks gestation. Following Rufus' birth, we were able to spend 6 unforgettable days with our son thanks to having access to a Cuddle Cot. During this time we were able to do many of the 'firsts' we had dreamt of with our boy including bath time, his first walk, meeting his grandparents and story. The memories we created are etched in our minds and have helped us immeasurably in our grief process. Our aim is to make sure every parent who faces the devastating reality of losing a child has access to this fantastic equipment which allows families to take time making memories with their precious baby(ies) in a private setting within the hospital, hospice or at even at home. Those extra hours and days can mean wider family members are also able to say goodbye. Without a cuddle cot, a bereaved family will typically only have 10-12 hours with their little one before they are taken away. Many studies have shown that increasing the amount of time parents have with their child(ren) will assist them with processing the mental and emotional difficulties of losing a child. No amount of time will ever be enough, but allowing parents the flexibility and control of managing their final goodbyes in the way that feels best for them is something that all families deserve.

Story

On 3rd April 2022 I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in honour of my friends charity Remember Rufus. 🏃🏽‍♀️

This charity was set up after her son Rufus was tragically born sleeping at 39 weeks in October 2020, and since then my inspirational friend and her partner Billy have raised enough money to provide 12 Cuddle Cots to hospitals nationwide. 💙

We pray these cots are never needed, but if they are they give parents the extra time to say the hardest of goodbyes and provides at least a tiny bit of comfort. 🕊

Any money raised by myself will be going towards the purchase of more cots. 🙏🏼

Ceri & Billy I am so proud of you every single day and I promise to smash this amazing cause for you. ❤️

Rufus we love you …. second star to the right and straight on til morning. 💫
