I hate running.
This leaves me with two options - do I do more running and be better at it when I head out, meaning that it sucks less, or do I procrastinate and do less overall running while suffering more on the day?
Well, I've always performed well under pressure (honest...)
Leo's is a charity which supports the mental health, physical health and social well-being of families who have had a sick or premature baby in the North East of England, working across five neonatal units and in the community.
They are a parent-led charity with extensive first-hand knowledge and experience of neonatal care, neonatal bereavement and paediatric care. Their board of trustees is comprised of neonatal parents, NHS professionals and lay members to ensure they offer well-rounded provisions for families and are informed by a range of perspectives.
Due to COVID-19, those with premature babies are increasingly isolated and the mental health of parents, carers and siblings is hitting crisis point.
A centre where families can access counselling, peer support, yoga, sign language, sensory sessions, educational sessions and a place to drop in, has never been more needed.
Let's chip in.
