Story
Thank you for visiting our Just Giving page. We are racing the sun to help Action Medical Research fund groundbreaking research to help find answers. Answers that can lead to cures, treatments and medical breakthroughs for some of the toughest fights our children face. Children like Elijah.Born prematurely at only 25 weeks, Elijah sadly lost his fight for life at just 37 days old. "Elijah led a very traumatic little life. He died sleeping on my chest in the small hours that's when I joined the fight to stop premature birth." - Elijah's mum, Jenny. Jenny's is just one story. 61,000 babies are born prematurely each year in the UK. Globally it's the biggest killer of children under five. So we've joined the fight. Will you join us and help us reach our fundraising target? Together we can help stop babies being born too soon and fund vital research tackling some of the toughest fights our children face.
