Hi everyone! We're Team Lotus - made up of 6 colleagues turned run buddies running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on the 8th October 2023 to raise money for Tommy's. Tommy's are a pregnancy charity working to make the UK the safest place in the world to give birth, supported by people who refuse to accept that a baby's death is just 'one of those things'. The people who support Tommy's want to do something about the lack of research and information around pregnancy issues. Tommy's believe every parent has the right to a healthy pregnancy and baby. What Tommy's do: - They fund pioneering research to identify why pregnancy goes wrong, which helps us 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. - Tommy's provide expert, midwife-led advice for parents before, during and after pregnancy, working together towards safer, healthier pregnancies. - Foster a connected, caring community, united in their goal to make pregnancy safer for all and advocating for and supporting those who have lost babies. Your donations go towards funding vital research into miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth, so we can keep saving babies’ lives. Each donation takes us one step closer. If you've read this far, thank you so much. Spreading awareness is equally as important as this is a topic that we as a society need to get more used to discussing. Any donations small or large would be greatly appreciated by both us as the runners, and this amazing charity supporting an important cause! Thanks for your generosity, and if you are able to come and support on the day, we'd appreciate seeing any of your lovely faces in the crowd! Alan, Luke, David, Izzy, Laura and Randev :)
