Story
Hi there :-) my name is Kate (mum to 2 girls 3 yrs and 10 months)and I run local family clubs Busylizzy Kingston and Busylizzy Elmbridge. We hold pre/postnatal fitness classes and developmental baby classes for local mums with little ones. Some of our current and previous members, needed to rely on the amazing support of Kingston Hospital's neonatal unit. The Born Too Soon Charity helps support the unit and their families.
To raise money for this amazing charity, we'd love for you to join us on Sunday 7th August at 10:30am for a sponsored walk/Buggywalk from Kingston Bridge to Hampton Court. Siblings and partners are welcome too, the more the merrier and weather permitting we plan on having a picnic on the lawn just in front of Hampton Court Palace. Please note that you do not need to be a member of Hampton Court Palace to attend the Picnic as we'll be located to the front of the palace.
The Born Too Soon is a charity for premature babies born early or unwell on the neonatal Unit at Kingston Hospital. Your donations help support the Neonatal Unit and help their families. All money raised by this event whether you're taking part or not will go to supporting the premature baby unit.
