Just giving

I did it!!!!!!!! It wasn’t pretty and defo the hardest run I’ve ever done but thought about Stanley and Louie all the way round! Think it was about 2:07 ..... time to relax! Thanks everyone for all your support and donations! Xx 

As lots of you will know one of my close friends and colleagues Zoe Howell gave birth prematurely in July at only 27 weeks to 2 gorgeous boys Stanley Albert weighing 2.5lb and Louie George weighing 1lb. 

Zoe had a really difficult pregnancy but honestly I have never in my life met anyone with the strength she showed and continues to show every single day. She will forever be my inspiration. 

The boys are in Birmingham Women’s Neonatal Hospital and getting amazing treatment. The challenges they’ve already overcome are incredible but there’s still a long road ahead. Here’s where I’m asking for your help and support.... I’d like to raise money for the Neonatal Ward that is caring so well for Stanley and Louie and all the other children in their care. 

I’m running Solihull half marathon this Sunday and due to a knee injury have not done anywhere the amount of training I should have. I will however think of Stanley and Louie all the way round and show the same fight and determination that they are showing.... I will not give in! 

If you are able to make any donation at all it will be gratefully received for this totally worthwhile cause and the link is below. Thanks so much, Helen x
