Isaac's 400km Challenge

Isaac is nearly one, which also means it’s nearly a year since his admission to the Trevor Mann Baby Unit.

I know so many of you generously donated to Reilly’s marathon earlier this year, and we are incredibly grateful. We'd love to continue our support for the Early Birth Association, who do so much to support babies, families and staff on the Trevor Mann unit. Without them, our experience of having a very sick baby would have been so different. In so many different ways, they supported us throughout Isaac's journey from ITU to special care and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything they did for us, Mabel and Isaac during what was an incredibly challenging time.

So, during October (plus a few extra days!), Reilly and I are going to run and walk a total of 400km — roughly the distance we drove to and from the hospital during Isaac’s admission last year.

I'm kicking things off with the Lewes Three Peaks walk on 27th September, where I’ll be walking 30km with my brothers and Dad across the South Downs. Reilly and I will then try to get ourselves to 380km before the end of October, before we both take on the Lancing 10K on 1st November to complete the challenge.

With busy lives and being fair weather runners it definitely won’t be easy! But if we can turn all those miles into some extra money to help support other families through one of life’s most challenging chapters, it would mean the absolute world to us.

If you’re able to donate, however big or small, we’d be so incredibly grateful, we know how much it will mean to babies, families and staff on the Trevor Mann Baby Unit.

Thank you, as always, for supporting us and for helping us give something back to the people who supported our family when we needed it most.

400km for the Early Birth Association 💛
