Story

On the 30th of March 2024, Archie James Strachan was taken from us far too soon at aged 18 months to Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).

SUDC is the sudden and unexpected death of a child aged 1-18 years where the cause of death remains unexplained after a thorough investigation. 40 children are affected every year in the UK, more than young child deaths due to traffic accidents, fires or drowning and comparable to 1-2 seemingly healthy children dying every fortnight.

Archie was a smiley face to all at "NB Fitness THE GYM" while his mum Fiona, completed her workouts. Therefore, beginning on August 19, 2024, Nicola Buchan has set herself a mammoth challenge in memory of Archie. As Archie sadly only got 18 months with us, Nicola is running a marathon per day for 18 consecutive days, with Archies dad Joe also partaking in a few of the marathons alongside Nicola.

Any donations would be much appreciated to help raise money for SUDC in aid of research into why this is happening to children.
