Homerton Neonatal Unit is one of the leading units in London who care for the tiniest of babies, and the whole team there work miracles every day.

If you can part with some of your hard-earned cash, then not only will you be a total legend, you'll also be helping improve facilities for parents who are going through a really difficult time - what's better than that?

I'm going to be running six races in six months to motivate you to donate to this very worthy cause. I'll be running the following races from November, finishing with a whole marathon in April!

November – Chatham 10k

December – Victoria Park Half Marathon

January – QE Olympic park 10K

February – London Winter 10k

March – Battersea Half Marathon

April – Brighton Marathon

So, why is Homerton Neonatal Unit important to me? Well, firstly, my amazing wife Flora works at Homerton, working within the maternity and neonatal units there. Additionally, some of you may know that Flora and I were due to be having our babies at Homerton earlier on in the year, however due to lots of medical complexities we sadly lost our babies. Whilst we didn’t end up requiring care at the Neonatal Unit, we spent a long time preparing ourselves to be ‘NICU Parents’, and so improving the care of both babies and their parents on the Neonatal Unit is a cause close to both of our hearts. Please help us raise money to try to ease the difficulties faced by NICU parents.

About Homerton Neonatal Unit

Homerton Neonatal Unit is one of the leading units who care for babies born extremely preterm in England. We are a 46-cot unit and one of three regional Perinatal services in North Central/North East London.

We care for babies born from 22 weeks gestation and the smallest babies we care for can weigh less than 500 g (that would be less than a bag of sugar!). We also care for very sick full-term babies who need intensive care treatment.

Having a baby in the Neonatal Unit is a very difficult time for families. Some stay with us for months and some must travel a very long distance to see their baby as we care for babies across a wide geographical area.

We constantly look at ways to improve the care we offer and invest in the latest technologies and equipment, beyond what the NHS can provide, and so e would like to improve the facilities we offer to our families to make their Neonatal journey that little bit easier.

We would be grateful if you would consider donating to our Unit, which will help us support these tiny warriors and their families. Even a small contribution can make a big difference.

Thanks for taking the time to read my GoFundMe page. So, all the races are booked, the running shoes are on - what are you waiting for?
