They had gone, but that didn't change the fact that we were here and we were their parents, and we would always be their parents.

And so I felt I had a job to do to ensure their lives mattered.

And that's... I wanted to find a way to make their lives, to bring something good from them.

And Ash one day said, I've had an idea.

What about let's run a half marathon and let's raise a bit of money for the hospital in memory of Henry, Jasper and Evan.

Not really.

I'd run a little bit with Ash.

We'd done a couple of little events together, but...

I certainly wasn't a half marathon runner.

And Ash was a good runner, but he hadn't done a half marathon either.

But he liked to run.

He used to run at lunchtime at work and stuff.

And he said, come on, there's a half marathon in a few months time, let's do it.

And then I found out that the hospital, well, I'd realized, we had realized when our boys were in hospital that a lot of the equipment that was helping our boys was donated equipment.

And we learned that the hospital relies on 70% of its equipment is from donations.

And this was something I didn't have any idea about before.

And so I knew also that the hospital was in need of more equipment.

And also I'd remembered the shortage of humidity cribs before the birth.

And so I thought,

great idea.
