A huge congratulations and thank you to Nick, who completed the Edinburgh Marathon and raised an incredible £2,120 for Simpson’s Special Care Babies.
Why Did Nick Run the Edinburgh Marathon for SSCB?
Nick took on the challenge in support of SSCB after his son, Oscar, spent the first four months of his life receiving specialist care at the Simpson Neonatal Unit.
Reflecting on his achievement, Nick said:
“I am delighted to say I managed to complete it and raise over £2,000 for SSCB. I really hope that goes some way to helping the unit that did so much for our family with Oscar when he arrived early and shows our appreciation.Those months in the unit were some of the most challenging we’ve ever faced — but thanks to the skill, dedication and compassion of the staff, Oscar received the best possible start in life.We will forever be grateful for the tireless work the team does, not just for Oscar, but for so many premature and sick babies and their families. This marathon is our way of giving something back.”
Oscar’s Journey Through Neonatal Care
Like so many families, Nick and his family experienced first-hand the challenges of having a premature baby in neonatal care.
Thanks to the skill, dedication and compassion of the neonatal team, Oscar received the very best start in life.
How Is Oscar Doing Today?
Today, Oscar is thriving. Seeing photographs of him cheering on his dad alongside a picture from his earliest days in the unit is a powerful reminder of just how far he has come.
How Does Marathon Fundraising Help SSCB?
Every pound raised helps SSCB continue supporting babies, families and the neonatal unit, making a real difference when it is needed most.
Thank You for Supporting Nick and SSCB
Thank you, Nick, and everyone who donated, cheered him on and supported this incredible fundraising effort.
