I have wanted to run the London Marathon for a while and I'm delighted to have been given the opportunity this year. I'm pleased that I will be supporting and raising money for Baby Lifeline along the way.

Baby Lifelines was established in 1981 when the founder, Judy, suffered the terrible loss of three premature babies. The charity works with leading health and legal professionals to identify and prioritise equipment needs for the maternity sector, as well as helping to provide cutting edge training for continuing professional development - to improve care already given.

Equipment ranges from small items such as digital weighing scales for babies to major pieces of technology such as incubators, scanners and various monitoring equipment.

The smallest amount can help as follows:

£32 buys a arm/ankle cuff for a baby

£130 buys a fetal doppler monitor

£125 buys a TENS machine

Every penny raised really does make a difference and will help to save a life. Please do be as generous as you can.

Thank you so much
