Evie was born 14 weeks prematurely in November 2007, weighing a teeny 1lb 10.5oz, at the John Radcliffe Hospital. The following 3 months were a roller coaster of milestones and setbacks, and we are eternally grateful for SSNAP. To mix it up a bit this year (Evie’s 18th Birthday year) we are undertaking two half marathons - the Stratford Half in April and the Oxford Half in October. Wish us luck! Thank you for all your support, it really does make a massive difference both to SSNAP and to Darren and I in motivating us to get the training done 💪🏻🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💜

When newborn babies need specialist, often lifesaving, medical care at birth it can be a traumatic and difficult time for parents and families.

In 2025, SSNAP will be celebrating 43 years of supporting parents and their premature sick babies at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford - providing both emotional and practical support, 365 days a year, being a life-line at a time when parents need us most.

We fund essential medical life-saving equipment, research, and support the amazing NHS staff on the neonatal unit with training and study days, to enable them to continue to provide the very best of care.
