On Sunday 21^st April, I will be running the famous London Marathon. this will be my first ever marathon and is going to be a real test of not only my physical but mental strength!

I am taking part in this event to help raise funds for The Iolanthe Midwifery Trust. The trust is a registered charity that aims to promote and improve the care of mothers, babies and families through awarding grants and fellowships in support of midwifery education, practice, and research.

In 2018, one of my closest friends sadly lost his daughter during labour and in the months to follow was supported by many charities including Iolanthe. There is now an Iolanthe annual award named after his daughter. The Norah Faith Coniam Award.

I would like to thank all of you for your support and donations.
