Story
Our best friends welcomed 2 gorgeous girls into the world 4 years ago, who were born at 29 weeks and needed to spend 6 weeks in the John Radcliffe hospital. SSNAP provided so much amazing support all through that period to our friends.
I have decided to run my first ever half marathon to raise money so I can give back to this amazing charity enabling them to continue to help and support families who need them.
Any and all donations will help SSNAP to help a family in need.
In the UK, 1 in 10 babies need specialist care at birth. SSNAP supports sick & premature babies, their families and the amazing NHS staff that care for them 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. Were there to help families cope, and provide state-of-the-art medical equipment and nursing expertise that could save babies lives.In 2022 SSNAP will be celebrating 40 years of being there for families at a time when they need them most.
