Almost six years ago I had a stillborn baby boy. It was an ordinary Sunday, 7 1/2 months into my pregnancy.

What the birthing books don't tell you about problems during pregnancy, is that they still happen frequently to people like me and you.  They happen out of the blue and can result in devastating loss and heartache.

Professor Robert Winston and his amazing team at Genesis Research Trust are working tirelessly to research, prevent and treat a range of conditions including miscarriage, stillbirth, genetic diseases and cancer to name a few.  

With nearly 250 babies dying every week in the UK from complications during pregnancy, the work of this amazing charity has never been so essential.

So please, support me in my challenge of trekking the Great Wall of China and help ensure that more women have normal pregancies and healthy babies.
