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!
