Bupa Great South Run 2009 · 25 October 2009 ·

Twins Trust is the only UK-wide charity working to improve the lives of twins, triplets, and more & their families. We campaign to improve health outcomes; fund clinical research to reduce the risks faced at birth, and provide practical support & information to families, including those in crisis.

Story

Meet Max and Finn (ah.... aren't they cute!!!)

Stars of the BBC documentary "The Secret life of Twins", Brother to my god son Thomas and little bundles of Joy to  friends Colin and Hermie and the reason why I'm running the Great South Run for the Twins & Multiple Births Association

Running for TAMBA got me thinking about other twins in my life and there are loads in my family and friends alone....... My Nan is a twin, My cousins Sam & William, Emma's dad John & brother Mick, Chris & Nathan Harrison (well don't let that stop you donating) and now Max & Finn...celebrities in their own right already !! 

I'm sure you all know Twins somewhere.......now here's a bit about the good work TAMBA do (In best Lenny Henry voice)

 "Whilst many multiple birth pregnancies run reasonable smoothly, Twins, triplets and more are four times more likely to die during pregnancy when compared to singletons, seven times more likely to die shortly after pregnancy, ten times more likely to be admitted to a neonatal special care unit and have six times the risk of cerebral palsy.  The stresses of multiples don’t stop at birth and families are more likely to suffer a relationship breakdown.  Tamba helps to address all of these problems by providing support services, undertaking research and campaigning to raise awareness"

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 (as in typical BOEX style...I have left it rather late as I'm running on Sunday !!)
