Yes, really….
Next Sunday 11th
October I will be (very slowly) taking part in the second Royal Parks Half Marathon in London. You may not be so surprised to learn that I don’t expect to set any records but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to finish in around 2.5hrs…I am definitely more tortoise than hare….
I will be raising money for
GBS infects around 700 babies each year of whom for 75 or so its fatal and around 40 survivors suffer long term problems. The tragedy is that the GBS infection can usually be prevented by a simple non-invasive and non-expensive test late in pregnancy to detect the presence of the bacteria and by giving antibiotics to the mum during labour. The Group B Strep Support organisation works to raise awareness amongst pregnant women of the potential impact of GBS. So your support would be appreciated.
