Story

I've started this journey as a non runner, and now I am becoming a runner as I'm taking on the challenge of a half marathon!

I want to start to give back to those who helped us when the twins made their early arrival, born at 31 weeks. As part of our NICU journey we spent 10 days at Chestnut House at the Rosie hospital, Cambridge. Joel and Gracelynn also spent a night here, enabling us to have some much needed time with them, and an opportunity for them to meet the twins for the first time. This place was an absolute godsend for us, enabling us a place to stay nearby to the twins as they received the medical care they needed to make them the happy, clever and energetic twins they are today. I don't know what we would have done with it.

£20 could buy a toy for a sibling

£80 could pay for a 1 night stay for a family

£120 could pay for a 3 nights stay for a family.
