Running so that one day my son can too 💚

Last year, my little boy, Otis, was born — arguably the happiest day of my life. He was a tiny little guy at birth (takes on after his father), but oh boy is he a fighter.

Sadly though, he had a bit of a rough start. Due to a lack of oxygen he had a brain bleed, which led to him eventually being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy — the severity of which we likely won't know until he's a bit older.

While it's not the start you want your little one to have, we could not be more proud of him. He's come on in leaps and bounds, and has made incredible progress — we have high hopes that he'll go on to do great things, no matter what ❤️

And so with everything that's happened, I could think of no better charity to support than Hjärnfonden (CP) when I'm going to be running Göteborgsvarvet.

Time to dust off my running shoes (after a fair few years) and raise some money for a really fantastic charity!
