Story

I work at Collyer's College in Horsham, just a few doors down from the charity's head quarters and I am hoping to raise awareness in the local community about the fantastic work Action Medial do for sick babies and children. My brother-in-law lost little Megan at just 6 months old to Meningitis and the everlasting impact on the whole family is clear to see. Action Medical's most recent campaign 'Born too soon' hits close to home for a number of friends and colleagues whose experiences with pre-mature births has made me realise how much more needs to be done with both research ans support of families. Please support this fantastic cause as I attempt the gruelling 26.2 miles of the London Marathon.
