I am running 1 mile at the Blenheim fun run to raise money for SSNAP, a charity based at the John Radcliffe Neonatal unit that helped my parents and I, seven years ago when I was born very early and needed to spend the first 3 months of my life in hospital.

We would be grateful for any donations to help SSNAP continue helping the unit and other families who may need their support.

Thank you, Alfie.

About SSNAP:

In the UK, 1 in 10 babies need specialist care at birth. SSNAP supports sick & premature babies and their families in the Newborn Care Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Imagine your newborn baby needing specialist care at birth. Instead of those very special days getting to know your baby as a family, you’re catapulted into an unfamiliar world of incubators, wires, medical tests and interventions.

While your baby has specialist treatment at the John Radcliffe Hospital, we provide vital emotional and practical support to families, both during their hospital stay and after discharge through our Little SSNAPlings groups. We also help fund equipment for the unit, invest in training for NHS staff, and support research projects—all to ensure the best possible care for sick and premature babies and their families.
