Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On 23rd March me and my brother in law Carlo have decided to take on the challenge of running a half marathon for the wonderful charity Baby Beat!

Baby Beat offered vital support to my big sister Kathryn and brother in law Adam when their little girl Mia was born prematurely at 29 weeks weighing just over 3lbs.

Mia spent a long 3 months in the neo natal unit at Preston hospital after she was born. She was cared for by the wonderful doctors and nurses and without this care she wouldn't be with us today 💖

Mia is now a healthy & happy 6 year old and we’d love to raise some money to say thank you for everything they did!

23rd March is also an extra special day for us as a family as it marks Charlie’s 8th birthday 🩵 Before Mia was born, Kathryn and Adam sadly lost their beautiful baby boy Charlie at 22 weeks old, so we will also be running in his memory 🦋

Any donations however big or small will make all the difference in supporting families through difficult and emotional times.

Thanks so much!

Rachel, Carlo, Kathryn, Adam and all our family xxx
