4 weeks ago with the click of a send button I had signed myself up for a 10k run! Great! I was going to get in shape and raise money for a good cause! Then the reality of what I had done hit me. I hadn't exercised in years let alone run anywhere and now I had 6 weeks to get fit! At least I had 1 thing going for me - stubbornness!

Now, with less than 2 weeks to go, training is going at a slow but steady pace and I am still wondering what I have let myself in for. Your help could make it all worthwhile. Any money I raise will go towards supporting families through the highs and lows of childbirth and parenting, as well as helping to fund local trainee antenatal teachers, breastfeeding counsellors and postnatal leaders. 30% of this will go straight back to the Lewisham branch to help them continue with all the fantastic things they do!

If that's not enough to make you part with your hard earned cash then you could always donate out of pity for me!

Any donation, big or small I really will appreciate them all! Thank you for your support, Daniela x
