Jago was born at 29 weeks gestation weighing 2lb1oz on 27 January 2024 at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. He spent nearly 11 weeks in the neonatal care unit, during which time both he and we received amazing care and support from SSNAP, in everything from chairs for kangaroo care to the daily chocolate trolley!

When we eventually got home we decided we wanted to give something back so entered the Oxford half. On mentioning this plan to some friends, we very swiftly became a team of 10 'Jago's Joggers'!

The team is Annabel and Robin, Jago's parents, and a brilliant bunch of school friends - Luce, Em, Izzie, Katie, Vicki, Lucy, and Charl, plus an exceptionally keen brother, Charlie White!

There is a bit more information below about this amazing charity which makes a huge difference to new parents in an incredibly difficult and stressful situation.
