This year, my son Finn would have been 18. To mark this special age, I've decided to run the London Marathon, in his memory, which takes place on my 56th birthday in 2026. It is also 10 years since I last ran a marathon therefore it wont be easy.

Finn was tragically taken from us, back in 2007, when he failed to wake up on the morning of the 14th October. A day has not passed, since this date, when we haven't thought about Finn and what he would be doing if he was still with us.

His death led us to the Lullaby Trust, which deals with sudden unexplained deaths of infants and, with their help, we have found a way of coping with this tragedy.

The Lullaby Trust is a charity that saves babies' lives and supports bereaved families. Around 3 babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), The Lullaby Trust is committed to bringing that number down to zero.

I will be raising awareness and funds that will be helping grieving families to receive specialist help, funding research to prevent more babies from dying suddenly and unexpectedly, and allowing more parents to receive advice on safer baby sleep.

Your kind support is crucial to creating a future where no baby dies suddenly and unexpectedly. The Lullaby Trust is reliant on voluntary donations so your generosity helps save lives.

Thank you

Paul
