Story

This October I will be running the Oxford half marathon to raise funds for SSNAP (Supporting Sick Newborn and their Parents).

Our son Lucas was born premature at 31 weeks and spent a total of 5 weeks in hospital. We cannot thank the hospital staff enough for all the care they gave over those 5 weeks, you don't realise what these people do until you've been through it.  Ever since then I've wanted to raise money SSNAP so here it goes! 

Here are a few things that your donations will go towards

  • Supports families of sick/premature babies in difficult times
  • Help fund medical equipment to enhance neonatal care
  • Fund research into improving neonatal care

So please donate even if it's a couple of quid it all goes towards a good cause, I appreciate any donation you can spare!

THANK YOU!

About the charity

SSNAP

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1146622
In the UK, 1 in 10 babies need specialist care at birth. SSNAP supports sick & premature babies and their families in the Newborn Care Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Imagine your newborn baby needing specialist care at birth. Instead of those very special days getting to know your baby as a family, you’re catapulted into an unfamiliar world of incubators, wires, medical tests and interventions. While your baby has specialist treatment, we provide emotional and practical support to help you through the trauma & upheaval. We’re there to help families cope, and provide state-of-the-art medical equipment and nursing expertise that could save babies lives.
