Nadine and I are joining the annual Seventy Nine Day Challenge from the 1st January until 16th February, raising money for Spoons Neonatal Family Support charity.

We’re committed to running 5K everyday, and for those who know us, know this is a massive challenge! We would like to raise as much money as possible for brilliant charity…please support us by clicking the link 🥰❤️

Why the Seventy Nine?

Now in its 5th year, the challenge was born out of adversity. When Shaun (now a Trustee of the charity) and Lauren (a dedicated Spoons volunteer), felt helpless after their twin daughters were born prematurely and admitted to the NICU. After receiving the devastating news that one of their girls needed open heart surgery, they found strength in community and positivity.

The 79 days represents the time spent in the hospital before their daughter could finally come home. Their struggle is over but for some families it is just beginning.

By joining the challenge or making a donation, you can make a difference for families experiencing neonatal care. Spoons provides parent peer support, and offers emotional and practical help for parents during their time in neonatal care, and in the community once they leave hospital.

We're hoping to smash last year's total of £15,000! Let's work together and challenge ourselves each day, between November 30th 2024, to February 16th 2025.

Thank you for your support!
