Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am running in memory of my niece. Baby Imogen was born 18/02/08 and lost her battle, after beating prematurity, against achondrogenesis type II in August 08. She spent her life in the Royal London Hospital and she passed away peacefully in mummys arms 11/08/08.

The hospital was a 2 hour train ride away so it was difficult for my sister and her partner to get there. Thanks to the Sick Children's Trust, accomodation was provided near the hospital so that they could be with Imogen. The Sick Children's Trust provides accomodation for parents everyday so that they can be there for their children, however they need donations to make this possible!!

This is my biggest challenge yet, and I want to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic charity that is close to my heart. Please donate what you can!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
