Almost twelve years ago my daughter Milly was born at 25 weeks weighing 872g. Now she's a happy and healthy eleven year old about to move on from her primary school to start year 7 at a wonderful secondary school. 

Every day I think about her difficult start in life; we could never have foreseen how positively things would turn out and are forever grateful to the wonderful staff at Queen Charlotte's hospital. 

Now seems like a good time to commemorate that by running a half marathon - slightly scary distance (13 miles/21km!) - and to raise money for a very good cause. So I'd be very grateful for your support!
