Ollie started using Naomi House for respite in 2018 and we were amazed at the facilities and just how supportive they are.

This was going to be the very first time we could leave Ollie but we also got to stay in the separate family room they have which gave us the benefit of having a good nights sleep as Ollie used to wake multiple times and could be up from 2am.

We have used Naomi House several times now over the years, we get to go swimming with Ollie, sit and have meals together and let someone else worry about giving Ollie his medicines etc., something others families don't even have to think about.

Now I would like to do something to give back.

Me and Ollie will be running the Southampton Half Marathon on 7th April 2024 and asking for your generous support once again for this wonderful and amazing charity.
