Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Setting out from Putney Bridge, myself and some other crazy CTK'ers will be heading East towards the city and crossing 16 of London's Bridges before reaching the finishing line 20km (13 miles) later next to Tower Bridge.

I've been recycling and helping CTK in all kinds of ways for around a year now, but I figured it's about time I did some serious fundraising! I am also walking in memory of my son, Joseph who was born sleeping at 18 weeks gestation on 7.5.2013

As you will all probably know, Count The Kicks means an awful lot to me. I found them on Facebook whilst pregnant with Elsa, my rainbow baby after I had a large bleed and her movements reduced/changed. 

I now see on a daily basis the real difference the campaign is making in bringing down the far-too-high stillbirth rate in the UK. 

Currently 16 sets of parents EVERY DAY won't take their newborn baby home. As only 10% of stillbirths are caused by a fatal congenital abnormality there is the potential to save 90% of these babies; this is what Count The Kicks is striving to do, by educating expectant mums on monitoring their baby's movements.  The Confidential Enquiry into Stillbirths and Deaths in Infancy found that lack of prompt management to reduced fetal movement was a contributing factor to stillbirth, so the information and confidence that the charity provides is vitally important.
