Story

I am running for Rufus, my twin brother who sadly passed away hours after we were born at 23 weeks. After health complications of my own and spending the first four months of my life in an incubator I am very lucky to be here, being able to run has given me such a profound appreciation for the human body, mind and spirit, what I am capable of..

I am running 50KM (31 miles) with my sister, Hannah in the South Downs Ultra 30th May 2022, Beachy Head Half Marathon 22nd October my mother Tina and Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris on the 2nd April 2023 in aide of The Smallest Things Charity as I wish to give back, a small donation to those who have gone through what our family have and to rase awareness.

I would be so very grateful if you could please help me donate to this wonderful charity.

With thanks and love,

The Smallest Things is dedicated to creating a better world for premature babies and their families after neonatal care.It’s impossible to know what it’s like behind NICU doors unless you’ve walked those corridors, scrubbed your hands, heard the alarms and felt the fear of losing the most precious thing in the world to you. We get it because we’ve been there too. The Smallest Things is run entirely by parents who’ve had premature babies. And that’s exactly what inspires us to support families, raise awareness and instigate change.
