Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may know, our beautiful boy, Jaxon, passed away in our arms on the 14th May 2023.

For the 46 days that we were at the hospital, the NICU team at St Michael's hospital alongside the charity Cots for Tots, worked hard, day and night to ensure that Jaxon was being well looked after. So without a doubt they were always going to be our focus for raising money for charity. They hold such a special place in our hearts.

Now it's time to do our part. I told Jaxon that when we would leave the hospital, I would take him along with me in his pushchair during my next Half Marathon, dressed in my Superman suit. Knowing that I was sadly not able to do this, my challenge is to run 46 Half Marathons in 46 weeks dressed in a Superman suit, in memory of the 46 days we had with Jaxon.

I started my challenge on the 7th July 2023 and it should end the week of the anniversary of Jax's passing. My final finishing line will be at St Michael's Hospital on the 14th of May 2024.

Any donation, no matter how big or small, would help towards this superb charity. The charity helps to support families like ours, those that are in need of the NICU unit. They helped us give our little fighter everything possible, for the short space of time we had with him, so now it's our turn to repay the favour and fundraise as much as possible for them and other families.

Thank you for supporting our fundraiser.
