Story

Team Mummy's Star are delighted to be at the 40th Great North Run! Our team are dedicated to raising funds for our special families.

We should have celebrated the 40th Great North Run in 2020, but the impact of Covid-19 put our celebrations on hold. Were looking forward to marking that monumental milestone this September instead, while doing everything we can to keep you safe in these unprecedented times.

The news of a pregnancy or a recent birth is an exciting time for all prospective and existing parents. However, it can be cruelly interrupted by the news of a cancer diagnosis and the worry that this brings to Mum, family and friends. Worse still, this could have also led to the loss of a pregnancy or baby.

Every day 2 women are diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy or shortly after birth.

A cancer diagnosis is difficult at any time, the added pressures of pregnancy, looking after a small baby or grieving loss can be scary and isolating.

Thats where Mummys Star comes in!!

Mummys Star believes that no one should have to go through this alone. We help families to meet others in a similar position, offer small grants to relieve some financial burden, give support to partners and the wider family, promote awareness and support research. Our dedicated team ensure women and their families have tailored support that is sensitive and specific to their individual needs
