On 1 June I will be running the Comrades Marathon in South Africa in memory of Eva Boyle, to raise money for Bliss

The Comrades Marathon is the world's oldest and longest ultra marathon run over a distance of approximately 90km (56.1 miles) between the capital of the Kwazulu-Natal Province of South Africa, Pietermaritzburg, and the coastal city of Durban.

Bliss is the UK charity working to provide the best possible care and support for all premature and sick babies and their families.

One in every 9 babies in the UK is born either premature or sick. That’s over 80,000 babies every year with one being admitted to special care every six minutes.

The vital care that babies receive after birth can have a profound impact on the rest of their lives. For families struggling to cope, this will be one of the most difficult, emotional and stressful times of their lives.
