Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge · 17 May 2025 ·

Noah’s Star supports families of premature and sick babies and children within Neonatal Unit’s and Childrens Hospitals. In July 2015, the founders twin boys, Oscar, and Noah, were born at 25 weeks. Tragically, Noah lived for only 30 hours, while Oscar faced various health conditions. Balancing their older child’s needs, coping with the loss of Noah, and managing constant anxiety about Oscar's health created immense challenges for the family. Recognising the struggles faced by families in similar situations, the founder of Noah's Star is determined to use her personal experiences and passion to help others. Our objectives are to: • Provide emotional support for the whole family facing the challenges of premature birth • Share practical advice and coping strategies. • Reduce feelings of isolation by connecting parents with others who have similar experiences. • Promote mental health and well-being for the whole family during and after their NICU stay.

Story

This May, I’ll be pushing myself to the limit in the Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge—a tough 100km endurance event along the stunning but brutal Dorset coastline. It’s a gruelling two-day trek over hilly terrain, and to make things even more “fun,” I’ll be camping overnight before continuing the challenge the next day. No comfy beds, no luxuries—just me, my aching legs, and the great outdoors!

Then, in June, as if that wasn’t enough, I’ll be jumping out of a plane (yes, on purpose!)—all in support of Noah’s Star, an incredible charity that provides essential emotional and practical support to families with babies in neonatal care.

Surely, that’s a cause worth donating to? And if that’s not enough, think of the entertainment—watching me suffer twice in just two months! Whether it’s me dragging myself over the finish line or screaming mid-air, your donations will make it all worthwhile.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a huge difference. Thank you for your support!
