Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to run 100km over 4 weeks starting 4th Oct 2021 to help this amazing charity. 

My son Jacob was born 4 weeks early and very suddenly with a rare health condition, called Congenital Hyperinsulinism. 1 baby in about 50,000 will be born with this health condtion. Hyperinsulinism can be extremely dangerous if not monitored or diagnosed early enough, can lead to issues with development and in extreme conditions, death.

As you can imagine at the time of his birth myself and my partner Charlotte were extremely worried and overwhelmed by this news. As new parents ourselves we never thought we would have to deal with such a rare condition and didn't know where to start looking for advice. Thankfully Alder Hey gave us information about The Children's Hyperinsulinism Charity. 

They have provided my family with support, a sympathetic ear and more importantly hope. Hope that my son can live a normal (ish) life and do everything he sets his mind to.
