Fundraising for The Miscarriage Association
Story
Hi thank you for taking the time to visit my page.
This charity means a lot to our family and can really help couples through some really bad times.
Hence the reason for this run
Anyone who has seen me run lately will know this is going to take a lot for me to get round this course but I’m looking to train hard and raise a great amount of money for a fantastic charity.
The Miscarriage Association helps by providing information and support when it's most needed and I want to help them continue doing that for others in this situation.
Income from event sponsorship makes up almost a third of the M.A's £300,000 annual core budget, so every penny of your sponsorship will really make a difference. What's more if you are UK taxpayer and Gift Aid whatever you give, you're adding another 25% to the charity without it costing you a thing.
Take a look at the figures and see what your money can do:
£5 pays for sending out a pack of 4 information leaflets on miscarriage facts and feelings
£17 pays for helping support and a leaflet pack for one person
£20 covers the cost of sending leaflet packs to four people
£50 will staff the helpline for an hour (responding to 2 to 5 requests for help)
£100 pays for two hours' work on our social media platforms, reaching out to people affected by pregnancy loss.
£250 pays for printing 2000 posters for display in hospitals, GP surgeries and libraries
£500 contributes to the cost of developing additional online training resources for NHS staff caring for miscarriage patients
£1000 will cover the cost of researching, writing and producing a new information leaflet
