Story

In 2018 my (our) friends Richard and Becca went through every parents worst nightmare, they sadly lost their little boy, Leo, just a few days after being born 😢 I cannot begin to imagine what they went through and sadly I could not be there for them as I was in Hospital myself.

Approaching 3 years on I have chosen to raise money for those that supported the family through the traumatic time, and beyond. Right through to now where they have a beautiful daughter Robyn.

I wanted to do something that would challenge me and encourage donations, I have decided to run to the hospital that supported them in Liverpool from my house in Milton Keynes. 265km over 5 days starting on August 2nd.

I have been training since November 2020 and have paid for a coach to give myself the best chance of completing this challenge, 5 pairs of running shoes later I am staying healthy and on target for the run. In May I completed a 50km Trail Run and in June I will be taking part in a 24 hour running event which I will use as preparation.

It's been a tough 18 months for everyone so anything you can donate to the cause would be much appreciated, if not financial then words of encouragement along the way will be as equally grateful!! 

I have had some offers of help along the way with friends offering to join me for sections of the run, if you want to join me at any stage you would be more than welcome.
