Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In December 2015, we welcomed our second son Sennen into our lives; a happy, content little soul who gave me immense joy. We enjoyed such an amazing year together. Just days after helping Sennen celebrate his first birthday, he died suddenly and unexpectedly. His death devastated us.
The Lullaby Trust offered compassionate bereavement support to our family as we tried to find a way to rebuild our lives following this trauma. The Lullaby Trust undertake extensive research into the cause and prevention of sudden infant deaths, and educate health professionals and the general public in how to reduce the risk. They have significantly reduced the rate of sudden infant deaths in the UK which is now at an all-time low.
I hope to complete this half marathon as a way of honouring Sennen's life while raising money for an incredibly important organisation. I started running recently as a way of trying to cope with some of the powerful effects of my grief and to try and find a way of improving my mental health so I can try and be strong for my other two sons. The half marathon will be my longest run yet.
Any contribution you can afford will be so helpful. Thank you.
