Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It has been one of my childhood dreams to run the London Marathon. When I was 9 I believed I could win, today I fully understand the commitment needed to cross the finish line.

MAMA Academy asked me if I would run for them and raise some funds at the same time. I feel honored to do so.

MAMA Academy is a charity which provides support and training to families and medical professionals with the simple aim of helping more babies arrive safely.

Stillbirth should not be a thing in any country, especially one with advanced medical support such as the UK, yet this heartbreaking situation is experienced by too many families. 

Sadly, the UK has one of the highest stillbirth rates in the developed world with the majority of deaths potentially preventable.

MAMA Academy seeks to provide information booklets to all expectant parents. They also provide training to medical professionals and seek to reduce the isolation felt by families who experience stillbirth. With your donation they can help more babies arrive safely.

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.
