Hi everyone!

Thanks for visiting my Just Giving Page 🙂

Eek! I’m going to be running the London Marathon this year as part of Team Lullaby, and here’s why… 🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️

42 years ago my parents’ lives were turned upside down when they lost their first child, my older brother, to cot death (known these days as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome - SIDS) at just 5 and a half months old. I grew up always knowing that I had two older brothers, but that Timothy went to live with God and the angels when he was a baby.

But it really hit home what my parents had gone through when I had my first child 9 years ago, and then even more so a few years later when my son was born. Aidan Timothy was born on Timothy’s birthday, and when September 1st arrived, the date Timothy died, Aidan was the exact same age Timothy had been when my mum had found him. No mother should ever have to go through that.

Not a lot was known about SIDS 40 years ago, and there are still lots of unanswered questions, but The Lullaby Trust has helped to fund research to prevent more babies from dying, help families who have lost a baby to receive specialist help, and allow more parents to receive advice on safer baby sleep.

Around 3 babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), The Lullaby Trust is committed to bringing that number down to zero 🌈

Your kind support is crucial to creating a future where no baby dies suddenly and unexpectedly. The Lullaby Trust is reliant on voluntary donations, so your generosity really does help save lives.

Although I’ve been running for a number of years, I have never run a marathon before 😬, and I’ve also suffered with a few running injuries recently, so all your support and donations are very gratefully received and will help drag me over that finish line!

Thank you so much

Becky 💛
