We fund medical research on preterm birth to improve and save lives.

Story

Borne's mission is to fund vital research on preterm birth, with the aim of creating a world where no baby is born too soon. One of my little ones was born prematurely, but thankfully we were extremely fortunate to come out the other side. Too many parents are not as lucky. 

With the cancellation of events and challenges due to COVID-19, Borne, like many other charities, has lost vital fundraising opportunities, and research has paused as clinical researchers and labs are diverted to the front-line.

Without urgent funds, there is a real risk that some of the ground-breaking research into preterm birth may never re-start.

I’m launching the Home Catwalk Challenge to raise vital funds for Borne and ensure that momentum is not lost. 

Join me: parade your favourite outfit and get your best catwalk on! You can be as silly or as sophisticated as you like - raid the fancy dress box, the grown-ups’ wardrobe and what about those killer heels you’ve never had an opportunity to wear?
