Charlie’s daughter, Autumn was born on 9th May 2017 and immediately admitted to the neo-natal special care baby unit with pneumonia.
“During our stay we witnessed staff working tirelessly to look after all the babies in their care….
I was so touched by the love & support they show to the families & relatives..” Charlie wanted to help raise money so Gosset staff can "carry on saving babies’ lives every day".
Back in May, he ran the Milton Keynes Half Marathon, completing the course in a fantastic time and has got the Silverstone Half Marathon coming up this month.
He has raised a fantastic £935 for Gosset so far, thank you Charlie!
A big thank you to Charlie’s employer too, Whitbread - who have very kindly matched what he raised this with a further £750!!
It was really nice to meet Charlie’s wife, Madison and their lovely daughter Autumn when they came in recently to present the £1,665 donation to Gosset staff on his behalf.
Wishing you all the very best with the Silverstone Half, Charlie and thanks again for supporting Gosset ward!
