Hi everyone! If you’ve come this far then I must be doing something right... 

Like many of us during this ‘new year, new me’ phase, I have decided to lace up my running trainers, get my pins out, and run the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2022, and what better way to get fit than to be raising money for such an amazing cause at the same time.

If you’re not familiar with Tommy’s, they are the largest UK pregnancy and baby loss charity, funding research into stillbirth, premature birth and miscarriage.

What Tommy's do:

• Tommy's Fund pioneering research to identify why pregnancy goes wrong, which helps to understand how we can prevent complications and loss, as well as enabling specialist care for people at their clinics, research centres and across the NHS.
• They provide expert, midwife-led advice for parents before, during and after pregnancy, working together towards safer, healthier, pregnancies.
• They foster a connected, caring community, united in one singular goal to make pregnancy safer for all and advocating for and supporting those who have lost babies

To give you an idea of the impact of your donation:

• £10 could buy a thermometer to help doctors at the Tommys miscarriage research centre predict ovulation.
• £100 could pay for a blood pressure monitor at the Tommys miscarriage research centre.
• £350 could fund a Tommy's midwife for a day on our pregnancy line giving specialist pregnancy advice and support.

Unfortunately, as we go through life, many of us will be affected either directly, or indirectly, by the loss of a baby, and so Tommy's need all the support they can get in order to continue the great work they do for thousands of families each year.
