Hi!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On bank holiday weekend, while you are all, no doubt having fun at various BBQs or beer gardens, I will be walking the Cheviot Challenge which involves about 24 miles and 4000ft of climbing through the Cheviot hills in Northumberland. I have completed training walks in sweltering heat and torrential rain and both ways were flippin' tough, so please picture me suffering on a hillside in the name of charity and give generously!! I know that we are all counting our pennies at the moment so please give whatever you can - it doesn't matter how much or how little it may be.
I am walking to raise money for the More than One charity which is the multiple birth charity at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Funds raised go towards buying essential equipment and teaching materials needed in the safe delivery of multiple births.
We had our twins, Evie and Robin at the RVI in September 2008 and the support the we received from Sandra, our multiples midwife,was second to none. We were given so much fantastic advice and education on what to expect and how to cope with pregnancy, giving birth to and life with twins. Having twins (or more!) is risky. Chances of complications or premature births is high and life with multiples is tough. It is, of course, also wonderful but for the tough bits, the support that Sandra provides is invaluable.
More than One is a fabulous charity and really made a difference to us so I urge you all to dig deep!
