Here at the RCM we work in partnership with National Maternity Support Foundation (NMSF) to consult closely with them on issues surrounding maternity care. Profesor Cathy Warwick CBE, General Secretary of the RCM also acts as the NMSF lead Patron and will be joining in the RCM team to cycle from London to Paris.

 

NMSF is Jake's Charity. It was set up following the tragic stillbirth of Jake Canter due to the nearest hospital maternity unit being closed. NMSF's founding principles are to take a 'proactive educative approach' to maternity care occupying the 'sensible middle ground' of public opinion and improve maternity care. NMSF offers Jake’s Scholarship to midwives wanting to become specialist bereavement midwife counsellors.

 

The Challenge

 

Day 1 - Our challenge begins bright and early from South London heading through rural Kent. Our path winds through traditional British countryside, along the North Downs Way before reaching the white cliffs of Dover before boarding a ferry across to Calais.

 

Day 2 - Reaching Northern France we travel south through Desvres and continue through windy roads along the valley of the Canche River.

 

Day 3 - We follow the River Somme out of Abbeville, finishing in Beauvais, covering 70 miles.

 

Day 4 - Our final day of cycling sees the big push to Paris our final destination.

 

In total our team will have covered 300 miles. We are hoping that our commitment may inspire you to show your support with contributions to this worthy cause. Any help you can make, whether large or small will be greatly appreciated !!!
