Born Too Soon is dedicated to enhancing the care provided at Kingston Hospital's Neonatal Unit for premature and unwell babies and their families. With your help, we can provide crucial equipment that makes a big difference in their early development and supports families through challenging times.

Story

I am raising money for Born Too Soon, the charity that supports the Kingston Hospital Neo Natal Unit.

My three children were born at Kingston Hospital and we were fortunate enough not to go to the Neo Natal Unit but many do.

Born Too Soon was established in 1985 to offer information and support to parents of small pre term babies and new born infants requiring specialist care on the Neonatal Unit at Kingston Hospital NHS Trust.

Thanks to the many generous supporters of Born Too Soon they have been able to purchase key new items of equipment to help and support the neonatal unit.

With your kind help the charity can continue to do this.

I ran my first marathon in April 2016 and raised money for some wonderful charities back then.

You might know that I love running and normally do not run marathons to raise money for charity but because I enjoy the training and participation.

To mark 10 years of running marathons and because Born Too Soon is special, I am running for charity again. I recall how it helped me in the last few miles of the London marathon 10 years ago when I wanted to stop! Please support me and Born Too Soon.
