Story

I will be running for this worthy charity in memory of George, a young boy close to my heart. Just before Christmas last year dark cloud landed on our dear friends and our community. All too soon, gorgeous George, aged 9, was taken from us all.

To show gratitude to the unique charity SUDC (Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood) for their on-going support to George's family, the least I can do is run a Half Marathon around London's glorious Royal Parks in George's honour - a unique setting for a unique boy who would have loved everything these charitable parks in their own right have to offer.

George's Joggers are running as a team - many of us doing our first ever Half - and even a small donation will go a long way to help support many others. But, for us, every step will be for George.

SUDC UK is a registered, national charity dedicated to raising awareness, funding research and supporting families affected by 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.

With your help, love and support, George's joggers will run/walk and perhaps even crawl the 13.1 miles with glitter on our faces and ABBA in our ears, embracing all that was "strictly come dancing" in memory of one AMAZINGLY EPIC BOY all in support this wonderful charity.

Thank you so much for your support.

Jane
