Oxford Half Marathon 2019 · 13 October 2019 ·

In the UK, 1 in 10 babies need specialist care at birth. SSNAP supports sick & premature babies and their families in the Newborn Care Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Imagine your newborn baby needing specialist care at birth. Instead of those very special days getting to know your baby as a family, you’re catapulted into an unfamiliar world of incubators, wires, medical tests and interventions. While your baby has specialist treatment, we provide emotional and practical support to help you through the trauma & upheaval. We’re there to help families cope, and provide state-of-the-art medical equipment and nursing expertise that could save babies lives.

Story

Hi there!

Our names are Charlotte and Eli, two med students from Australia, and we are running a half marathon as part of the SSNAP team (Support for the Sick Newborn and their Parents).  Both of us have undertaken research years on neonatal wards this year and are in awe of the resilience and courage of the babies and parents we have met along the way.  

SSNAP is a charity based at the newborn care unit of the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where Charlotte is based. SSNAP provides emotional and practical support, such as access to transport and accommodation to families who have a baby admitted to the neonatal unit. 

We hope by running this half marathon we can give back this incredible charity, and help them raise much-needed funds to continue to support sick infants and their families!
