Story

So, Gary Oakes, his daughter Leanne Oakes and her partner Michael Dawson are all taking on the London Marathon in April 2018 to raise money for Baby Lifeline. 

With Gary previously running 3 marathons, including Paris, the London Marathon has been on his list of things to do for a few years. 

Leanne and Michael also have the ambition to complete the London Marathon so they have all teamed up and hope to raise £5,000 for Baby Lifeline!

We have chosen to run on behalf of Baby Lifeline because they aim to provide the specialist equipment and knowledge to help save so many babies lives. Any money that is raised for this cause will go a long way and help towards further research, additional equipment and the knowledge that we need to give parents a chance to meet their newborns. 

Every Baby deserves a chance, and we want to help make this happen!

So if you have any spare change and would like to support us during the gruelling training please donate to our page! Honestly, every little helps!
