We're doing it again! Last year you helped us raise over $600 to fund crucial research into preventing babies being born too soon. Can you help us out again by sponsoring a few miles of our Summer of Cycling? 

At the end of July, we'll join RAGBRAI, the epic week-long bike trek across the beautiful state of Iowa. We'll ride a combined total of 450 miles in 3 days and we're hoping again to raise $1 per mile in support of Borne Charity. 

According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 in 10 babies are born prematurely each year, and preterm birth continues to be the leading cause of death for children under five. Borne raises funds to invest in research that has already made great strides toward understanding what causes preterm birth, and how to prevent it. Read more about their work at: www.borne.org.uk

Many of you know that Jeff and I have been trying to start a family for many years now. Infertility is a daily struggle for us and it's easy to feel powerless against it. Raising money for Borne offers us a tangible way to channel our desire for children of our own into helping shed light on the painful and frustrating mystery that still surrounds so much of women's reproductive health. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks so much for reading our story! Please consider making a contribution and sharing this page to help us spread awareness for this important cause. 

Love,

Lora and Jeff
