Story
We are going to run the Oxford Half Marathon in memory of Wilfred Alexander Holmes and to support SSNAP who do fantastic work looking after sick newborns and their families. Wilf was born on the 24th June 2019 and Lucy and I were able to spend 2 days with him until we had to say goodbye in the evening on Wednesday 26th June. We're so very proud of how brave he was and wanted to do something for his memory and make sure that families who might have the same terrible experience get the same support that we've been able to get.
All the consultants, doctors, nurses, and midwives at the John Radcliffe looked after all of us amazingly and SSNAP help fund essentials for the Neonatal Care Unit which provided that care. Please do take a look at their website: https://www.ssnap.org.uk/what-we-do We would be so very grateful for anything you can spare to support our run for SSNAP.
I am very grateful to my friends Jay and James (Frankie) who will be running to raise money for SSNAP too - the more the merrier!
