As many of you know, our gorgeous identical twin boys arrived slightly earlier than expected, leading to a very long hospital stay over the summer of 2022. We were in hospital across both the Royal Sussex and the Evalina in London for a total of 117 days before we could bring our boys home.

During this challenging time we were so lucky to be accommodated by Ronald Macdonald house. Their accommodation meant we could be close to the boys within the hospital at all times.

When Rory came out of hospital and Rudi still needed further care, including life saving surgery, they kindly accommodated us having a newborn with us as well. 

We are so grateful to both Ronald Macdonald houses at Brighton and the Evalina for putting us up during such a challenging time. We don’t know how we would have coped without being so close to our boys, particularly during our time at the Evalina where Rudi was very unwell.

Our aim is to fundraise £5000 by their first birthday in June. £5000 funds a room for a year at a Ronald Macdonald house. £25 will fund a room for a family for one night.

We are currently organising a Run home from Brighton Ronald Macdonald on the weekend the boys turn 1 year old. This 9 mile run with close family and friends will celebrate how far we've come in a year and how well both boys are doing, as well as hopefully raise some money for this wonderful charity.

Thank you for all your support,

Samira, Nathan, Rory and Rudi
