Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 2nd of October 2022 I will be running 26.2 miles in the London Marathon.
This will be my first attempt at a marathon, so I am excited but equally nervous! I have chosen to run on behalf of Baby Lifeline; a unique national charity which promotes the safe care of pregnant women and their newborn babies all over the UK and worldwide. Sadly, every day around 14 babies are stillborn or die within the first four weeks of their life in the UK. And due to complications during pregnancy, a family is left motherless every five days.
As a Midwife, this charity is close to my heart, so every pound raised will be used to buy equipment, develop and provide critical training, and conduct research. Below is a list of just some of the training / important pieces of equipment needed to improve quality of care.
- Blood Pressure Monitor £1,250
- Emergency equipment trolley £860
- Training on CTG (cardiotocograph) masterclass £95 (per delegate)
- Portable breast pump £1,940
- Birthing bean bags £41
- Birthing mats £395
- Birthing ball £25
- Sonicaid (hand held doppler) £440
- TENs machine £100
