MedEquip4Kids - Breast Foot Forward · 1 May 2010 ·

Based in Manchester, MedEquip4Kids improves the health of babies and children in the UK by providing equipment not available from limited NHS resources. Because we value all aspects of children’s wellbeing, we also deliver workshops in schools to support young people’s mental health.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm Kirsten, owner of Bella Mama, a Breastfeeding Boutique which provides breastfeeding mothers with the freshest and most stylish nursingwear and essential new mama products from one online store. My aim is to provide fabulous, fashionable nursing clothing which will allow new breastfeeding mums to feel confident and stylish whilst providing their baby with the best start in life.

When I heard that MedEquip4Kids were launching a new Charity, Committed2Breastfeeding, I wanted to help raise funds for this fantastic cause. MedEquip4Kids has been funding breastfeeding projects over the last five years providing breast pumps and other associated equipment for use on maternity and neo-natal units across the north of England, and is now getting more requests than ever before for support from community-based infant feeding co-ordinators and midwives. Baby cafes, community clinics, drop-in centres and midwives can often make all the difference to new mums who have decided to breastfeed - but then find it is not as easy as it looks!

MedEquip4Kids has launched its first Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, Breast Foot Forward, and it will be taking place on Saturday, May 1st. The Yorkshire Three Peaks is one of the most famous fitness challenges in the country - walk 24 miles conquering Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside. So, along with my friend Hayley,  I will digging out my walking boots, strapping on my rucksack and tackling Breast Foot Forward in aid of the Committed2Breastfeeding project!!

This is easily the most challenging thing I have ever done, (I've worked hard to improve my fitness for the event!!)  and it would be fantastic if you could help me to raise funds for this great cause. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you so much,

Kirsten
