In April 2012, Simon Baker and Ross Surey are planning to run the length of Wales in 5 consecutive days. That's 230 miles in 120 hours!
They are raising money for the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity (Sands) and 'Flying Colours' for Yeovil Women's Hospital.
Why?
Solomon Baker 20.10.2010
Simon and his wife Chloe were almost 34 weeks pregnant and eagerly awaiting parenthood when Solomon had to be delivered by emergency caesarean. Despite the efforts of all the staff, he was born sleeping and could not be woken.
The support they received from the staff at Yeovil Women's Hospital and Sands Charity was invaluable in helping them cope with their loss. These two charities need your support so that they can continue to support bereaved parents as well as fund research to reduce the incidence of stillbirth.
They also received a tremendous amount of support from family and friends. One of these friends, Ross Surey, has help develop the idea of running the length of Wales. Together, Simon and Ross decided this was a challenge that would push them to the limit and hopefully assist with raising a massive sum of money for Sands and Flying Colours.
