Ultra Trail for premmies

Take on your own challenge

Help me give premature babies a better chance of survival

Yes, I'm running another crazy endurance race as a personal challenge but, in a last minute decision before I run the UTA22 next week, I'm taking the opportunity to raise money for an issue close to my heart. A number of my friends have gone through the heart ache and angst of having premature babies (including my little Godson) and I was blown away recently watching Sophie Smith's story and what she went through losing her premmie triplets...and then her husband to cancer.  Her strength and determination is beyond inspiring and her journey to raise funds for much needed premmie incubation units, through running, has motivated me to help her cause.  
 

By supporting me as I run the Ultra Trail 22km on 18 May, you'll be raising funds to buy life-saving equipment to give critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival. No amount is too little, so thank you in advance:-)
