Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

In November 2008 I will join Professor Robert Winston for Cycle Cuba, the 8th women only challenge to fund groundbreaking medical research work at the Wolfson and Weston Research Centre for Family Health in London. I will be cycling 370kms across the Caribbean Island of Cuba and need to raise a minimum of £3,000 to take part.

Hundreds of women from across the UK have already helped Professor Winston raise nearly £1.5 million for the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Trust’s Women for Women fund by taking part in cycling challenges across the world. Women for Women raises funds to train women scientists and clinicians to work at the centre, empowering more women to lead in this field. They will work to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of devastating conditions which cause genetic diseases, miscarriage, infertility, cancer and brain damage. The fundamental aim is to improve women’s health and to ensure that more women have a normal pregnancy with a healthy baby.

With up to 250 babies dying every week in the UK from complications during pregnancy, our work has never been so essential for women and babies nationwide.

If you can help by making a donation I would be very grateful.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Women for Women will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please please please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
