In May 2021, our lives changed forever when my first son was born at just 24 weeks, weighing only 501g, at St Peter’s Hospital.

He spent the first four months of his life in the NICU, cared for around the clock by the incredible nurses, doctors, and healthcare staff. Their dedication, skill, and compassion are the reason he’s now grown into the lively (and cheeky!) four-year-old boy we know and love today.

I’ve been proud to support Little Roo as a volunteer for several years, but now I’m lacing up my trainers to take on a new challenge – running to raise funds for this incredible cause.

This is my way of giving back to the charity that supports the team who gave my son the chance to live.

On Sunday 12th April 2026, 21 incredible runners will take on the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise funds for Little Roo Neonatal Fund at St Peter's Hospital.

Team Little Roo brings together:

- Dedicated staff who care for sick and premature babies on the neonatal unit, running for the tiny patients they care for.

- Families whose babies were cared for on the neonatal unit, together with their relatives and friends. Some are running in thanks, while others are running in memory of their beautiful babies.

Together, we are running 13.1 miles to give every baby the best possible start in life. Your generous donations will help provide life-saving equipment, care for families throughout their neonatal journey, and ongoing support for the amazing NICU team.
