She will be joined by Rob Hawkins’ wife Sally and Layla May Cyster, Jason Ellingford, Jocelyn Allen and Andrea Poore in the 13-mile run.
“We’re running as ‘Freddie’s Fundraisers’,” says Lucy. “We are by no means 'runners' so it’s a big challenge for most of us, especially a couple of the new mums!”
Anthony and Lucy’s son Freddie was treated with cooling therapy for birth asphyxia and stayed in the neonatal intensive care in Coventry for the first week of his life. Now his parents and friends are keen to show support in return for the quality of care there.
“He is an absolute miracle and incredibly lucky as he has come through unscathed as far as we are aware – all thanks to the treatment he received,” says Lucy. “We call him Super Fred!”
She adds: “We want to raise some awareness and give back to Action Medical Research as they are such an important and amazing charity that helps so many children and babies each year.”
