Story

I'm running the 10km again in memory of an incredible special boy and to show support to his wonderful mummy and daddy!  You can learn more about Theos star via the link on this page, so many people have already shown massive generosity and I'm hoping by tackling this run I can raise a bit more cash and more importantly raise awareness of stillbirth in the UK which shockingly, has rates a lot higher than I ever thought.  

This is my third 10km but having just had a little boy myself I'm doubtful I can smash my pb of 1hour as iv not doing a scrap of exercise for 18months.For me this isnt about you all sponsoring me...i want people to read their story and donate for Theo.The 10km is just a little act I want to do in his memory! Every step I take while completing this run will mean more than anything because I will be thinking of a little boy who has touched so many peoples lives.

I am so proud to call Lou and Dan my friends, they are creating positive things from somethings so tragic! I can't imagine there will be a prouder son than Theo, to know what his mummy and daddy are doing in his memory!

So dig deep if you can and please read their story so we can share his memory and try and save some lives!!
