I am running the London Marathon again in April 2023 for a really great charity The Lullaby Trust, The Lullaby Trust raises awareness of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), provides expert advice on safer sleep for babies and offers emotional support for bereaved families.

Part of my goal is to smash through my last Marathon  race time of 4.02, but also as a family we have experienced something similar in 2022, as we had a miscarriage which was a difficult time for us. Obviously any baby loss is terrible and I can only imagine the pain families have to go through if their baby passes suddenly with no explanation, so any donations will go a long way! 

£16 could pay for 5 families to receive a copy of our 'Safer Sleep for Babies Guide for Parents', containing advice on how you can sleep your baby more safely to reduce the risk of SIDS.

f22 could pay for our bereavement helpline to provide advice and support to a first-time caller. Our support service is available whether people are newly bereaved or the bereavement was many years ago.

£32 could pay to train a health professional in safer sleep advice about how to reduce the risk of SIDS, which they can pass on directly to the hundreds of parents they work with.

£45 could pay for a support package to be sent to 5 bereaved families, giving advice, sharing experiences from other bereaved parents and signposting to where they can get further support.

£68 could pay to train a bereaved parent or family member to become a Lullaby Trust Befriender, offering specialist support to other families who have experienced the death of a baby or young child.

£104 could pay for a mattress monitor to support a bereaved family on our Care of Next Infant programme, helping to reduce anxiety and allowing them to enjoy the first year of Their babies life.
