We've all got kids, nieces and nephews; or, at the very least, have friends that are parents. For most, pregnancy and birth of these kids is an incredibly happy time.
Some families, including family members and friends of mine, are not that fortunate and the time leading up birth can be incredibly stressful and emotional.
Some parents rely solely on the knowledge of hospital staff and developments in medical research to ensure that their baby overcomes any difficulties and go on to live a long and happy life.
Sparks' mission is simple "...to help all babies be born healthy and stay healthy. We do this by funding high quality medical research into childhood diseases."
If you think, as I do, that a pound donated to Sparks is a pound well spent then please Donate Now, or let all your family and friends know about this page.
You can follow my training and fund raising efforts on Facebook and Twitter!
