I’m running the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise money for Bedford Hospital’s Neonatal Unit, a cause that is incredibly close to my heart.

Our son was born prematurely at 31 weeks, weighing just 2.9 lbs, and what followed were some of the most frightening and emotional weeks of our lives. He spent five weeks in hospital, where every day brought new worries, small victories, and moments of hope. During that time, the neonatal team at Bedford Hospital became our lifeline. Their skill, dedication, reassurance, and compassion not only cared for our son but supported us as parents through an experience we were completely unprepared for.

The care he received during those critical early weeks gave him the best possible start and meant everything to our family. By taking on this challenge, I want to give something back to a unit that supports so many babies and families at their most vulnerable. Any donation, no matter how small, will help the neonatal unit continue their vital work and make a real difference. Thank you so much for your kindness and support — it truly means more than words can say
