My heart is filled with gratitude for the team at Darent Valley Hospital's Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) who cared for my son Marlowe during his extended stay in January 2019. Their tireless efforts and dedication to providing the best possible care for newborns and their families is truly remarkable. That's why I'm participating in the London Marathon 2024 to support the special care of babies through the Little Buds Fund.

The Little Buds Fund provides essential resources to ensure that expectant mothers and their newborns receive top-notch care. I'm hoping to raise £2,000 to decorate the 'rooming-in rooms' at Darent Valley Hospital, so that families can have a comfortable space to bond with their new arrivals. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference in the lives of these families.

Please join me in supporting this worthy cause and help make a difference in the lives of these precious little ones.
