I am taking on the Thames Bridges Trek alongside my colleagues at Essenta Partners in aid of Borne, the brilliant charity that Essenta is supporting.

Borne is a medical research charity that funds research into premature birth, the leading cause of infant mortality in children under the age of five around the world today. I'm supporting Borne because every child should have the chance of a full and healthy life, unaffected by disability. Your donation will help Borne in their mission of ending premature birth, everywhere and forever.

This cause is extremely close to my, and my colleagues', hearts.  My twins, Tommy & Amelie, were born at 32 weeks, were brilliantly looked after, and are now very healthy 10-year olds.

However, many others are less fortunate and it is devastating to those families who are impacted by premature birth.  We want to do our bit to raise money and awareness.
