As many of you are aware, our gorgeous daughter Bella devastatingly died from pneumococcal meningitis in July 2022 aged 5 months. We miss her terribly and as a family feel it is important to do things in her memory to make her proud. We will also try to be more Bella and do it all with a smile!

This year we are going to run some races in memory of our Bella and will be raising money for Meningitis Research Foundation. We have all chosen a distance that challenges us and have lined up three weekends in April, finishing with the main event in London:

Sunday 7th April - Mummy (and Daddy) - Poole 10km

Sunday 14th April - Molly (and Archie in pram with Mummy & Daddy) - Upton 2km

Sunday 21st April - Daddy - London Marathon

Thank you so much to some of our wonderful friends who are running with us, for any support at the sidelines of the races and anyone who donates, we really appreciate you all! We hope to make a difference to research and vaccines that will help save lives.
