Story

I am running in the ABP Southampton Marathon and the Big Pilgrimage 54K Ultra Marathon in memory of baby Tommy. 

Tommy was such a little fighter and filled his family hearts with so much love during the short time he was with us. 

We will always remember Tommy and we will make sure Charlie knows all about his brother.

His family is so grateful to the Neonatal Unit at Princess Anne Hospital for everything they did for Tommy and for everything they continue to do for his brother Charlie. 

I hope to raise as much money as possible to help other families that will unfortunately go through the same thing.

We never really knew what happened in the Neonatal unit.

Twin Brothers Charlie and Tommy were born at 24 weeks and we cannot thank the doctors and nurses enough for the care that they give and the support that has been offered.
