Hi,

I'm dusting down my trainers to run in this years London 10km on 12th July, alongside a few of the Sisterhood girls (most of them younger with longer legs - arghhh!).  Please sponsor me, Babes in Arms is an amazing charity and is grateful of any donation you can offer.

Originally set up in 1991 by Grace Tye to fund research into cot death Babes in Arms has now expanded to include international aid projects in Palestine, Senegal before  teaming up in 2008 with Leah Chisughi to protect the women and children of Eastern Congo. 

It is an appeal within 2 charities NPIMR for its medical research work and IMET2000 for its international aid work.  By combining research and aid Babes in Arms is in a strong position to help women all over the world.

The Babes in Arms at Northwick Park research is dedicated to funding research into developmental abnormalities which affects not only Cot Death, but intra-uterine-growth retardation(IUGR) (babies who are too small for their dates) and pre-eclampsia.  Cot Death is a lethal and emotionally charged condition which strikes at the most vulnerable group in our society, very young children.  Despite many advances made in the fight against this condition, over 300 otherwise seemingly healthy babies die of Cot Death every year in the UK alone.  The effects of this on whole families can be devestating.
