Story

2 women are diagnosed with Cancer in and around Pregnancy every day!

We'd love to see a day when cancer and pregnancy are not words used together, but we're here for mums EVERYDAY and working hard to help SUPPORT every family through this extremely traumatic situation.

Mums and their Families URGENTLY need our support. Mums needing our support has doubled in the last 18 months. Rising from 350 mums in our first 4 years, to support for over 350 mums in just the last 18 months alone.*

Tom is Treasurer at Mummy's Star. He is married and has three children (Annabelle, Rupert and Grace). In 2014 his wife Philippa was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma while pregnant with Grace. Her treatment was successful and despite Grace being delivered early and spending time in special care she is now thriving. Philippa connected with Mummy's Star at the time and this is how Tom's connection began.

EVERYDAY in MAY Tom will be running 5k in honour of our amazing families. You can join him by donating, walking, giving something up or setting your own every day challenge!
