I will be walking 20k throughout October to raise money for the Breastfeeding Network who provide much needed support to breastfeeding Mums. This charity receives no outside funding so it is vital that fundraising and donations can mean the service continues. 

Erin and I will embark upon several outings throughout October to complete our 20k distance - obviously she will be in the pram, but will be my companion and inspiration to get up off my bum - fingers crossed for good weather this month! Those of you who know me will know I am suuuuuper lazy and walking isn’t one of my favourite pastimes and although 20k isn’t a lot, it seems like a daunting prospect right now - your donations will spur me on to keep putting on my trainers and getting out into the fresh air. 

There is some further info about the charity below, but please give as generously as you can. 

**************

The Breastfeeding Networks Big Tea Break is an annual fundraising event running between 1st-31st October 2018, raising money for our Drugs in Breastmilk information service.

Through this service, we have been offering independent, evidence-based, confidential information and support via a trained pharmacist and volunteers since 1995. The demand for the service has increased every year and we now receive on average 550 emails per month from health professionals and families. 

We also have a very busy Facebook page @BfNDrugsinBreastmilkinformation which receives around 600 requests for support every month.One in every five of the questions we receive via the Drugs in Breastmilk service is related to treatments for mental health issues and there has been a significant rise in these questions over the last few years.
