Running for Premature Babies

Please join one of our team running events, physical or virtual. Please note, in the event of a race being cancelled we are holding our own virtual race. Hospital NICUs and premature babies need us more than ever in these challenging times, and we need to stay fit and healthy.

We’d love you to sign up to an event below. All you need is a pair of running shoes and a big heart and together we can give premature babies a better chance of survival.
