"I have a very supportive running team who have been joining me for my runs"

“I have a very supportive running team who have been joining me for my runs”

“I set out to run 148 miles over 37 days in memory of my nephew who passed away sleeping on 23/02/2020 aged 39 days. Stanley was born 10 weeks premature. He was poorly during the first few weeks of his life and was transferred to several hospitals before he arrived home. The total distance he travelled was 148 miles. To mark Stanley’s first birthday I wanted to highlight his journey and the small milestones he achieved. I began my first run on Stanley’s 1st birthday and I chose to complete my challenge in 37 days to commemorate the first day Stanley was home. Stanley died due to SIDS. The Lullaby Trust raises awareness of SIDS and also supports bereaved families. I wanted to raise money for the charity to be able to continue their work and to ensure other families are supported during the loss of a baby or child.”

“I’m pleased to report the weather is warming up in Beijing and running outside has been more bearable especially with views like this”
