Action on Pre-eclampsia London Marathon Team 2022

London Marathon 2021 · 3 October 2021 ·
Pre-eclampsia is a serious disease of pregnancy, affecting up to 10% of pregnancies and leading to the death of around 700 babies just in the UK alone each year. Worldwide every 6 minutes a woman dies from pre-eclampsia.
While I was fortunate to have 2 healthy pregnancies, I recognize that is not the case for everyone. The statistics are staggering, especially in our modern world. As a mother and a woman I personally feel it is important to bring awareness of this disease to more people so that women all over the world can have a safe and healthy pregnancy.
The Virgin London Marathon is Action on Pre-eclampsias biggest fundraising event of the year and ensures that they can continue to offer support to those affected by pre-eclampsia as well as funding vital training for all who care for pregnant women. I feel honored to have been chosen to run on APEC's Team in 2022. Every mile I run in my preparation for this event will be dedicated to all of the mothers and babies affected by this serious pregnancy complication.
I appreciate your generosity in helping to support this important cause. Together we CAN make a difference.
