Hi and thanks for visiting my fundraising page. 

On October 11th I am going to be running 13.1 miles (eeeeeekkk!!!) in the London Royal Parks Half Marathon for Tommy's: The Baby Charity which is a charity very close to my heart.  I am going to aim to raise as much as possible but every little bit of your support will be a huge help, as well as inspiration to me for the day and the training running up to it.

TOMMY'S MISSION:

At Tommy’s we believe it is unacceptable that one in four women will lose a baby during pregnancy and birth.

We want to give every baby the best chance of being born healthy, so we work to fund medical research into the causes of premature birth, stillbirth and miscarriage. We also feel it's important to raise awareness of the facts and to provide free, accurate and up-to-date information for medical professionals and parents-to-be.

This includes a dedicated telephone midwife service, a comprehensive website and free books and leaflets dedicated to promoting health in pregnancy and pre-pregnancy.

We fund three research centres in the UK, including St Thomas' in London, St Mary’s in Manchester and the recently established Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, which focus their research efforts on different issues relating to pregnancy.

We are supported by people who want to do something about the lack of research and information around pregnancy issues like miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.

We believe every parent has the right to a healthy pregnancy and baby. Our target is to halve the number of babies that die during pregnancy or birth by 2030.
