Oscar & Felix's 10th Birthday Fundraising

In 2015 we had twin boys Oscar and Felix. Sadly, Oscar did not survive the pregnancy due to a congenital heart defect and died at 27 weeks. After their birth at 33 weeks, Felix only lived 5 days after suddenly developing necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) and dying 12 hours later.
In 2025 the twins should be turning 10 and in order to commemorate them we are going to complete 10 events to raise as much money as possible in their memory.
We have chosen Tiny Tickers, who work to improve the early detection and care of babies with heart defects, Action Medical Research which researches premature birth and associated complications and finally Footprints Baby Loss who provide peer to peer support for twin and other multiple pregnancy losses.
We will be completing 10 events before their birthday on 17 November, including 3 Wolf Runs, 2 Born Survivors, 1 Total Warrior, 1 Tough Mudder, and climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon.
