On the 8th September 2013 I lost my first born child. Rosie tragically died in her sleep at the tender age of 19. 
 
Rosie was loud, vivavious and I know many would agree, stunning. She had the ability to liven up any room and was deeply loved by her family and her many friends. 
 
Rosie and I were like best friends. I brought her up from a young age as a single mum which tightened our bond until I met my now husband who also loved Rosie fiercely. Whilst she was at her first year of university in Nottingham this year I would not go a single day without touching base with her. I miss her every second of everyday, but I have now got the determination and motivation to complete a dream of mine; run the London Marathon. This event was something Rosie also wanted to accomplish with me so when I run I think of her. I know she will be on this long and difficult journey with me.
 
I would be so grateful for any donation as it is a cause so close to my heart and will be invaluable to research into epilespy related deaths in young people.
