Westminster 10k
Campaign by Best Beginnings (RCN 1120054)
Following the success of our 20 runners at the London Marathon this year, we are dusting off the trainers again to raise money for Best Beginnings in the Westminster 10k on Sunday July 9th.

Story

I am hoping to raise a modest £200 for Best Beginnings, a partner of the Heads Together campaign. Following the success of the campaign this last year, spearheaded by Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, it is crucial that the momentum does not stop here in the goal to provide support and lend a voice to all people experiencing mental health difficulties. 

Best Beginnings is the smallest of the 8 Heads Together partner organisations, and yet its outreach is massive. With its innovative resources including free Baby Buddy app and Out of the Blue content, Best Beginnings is raising awareness of the things that can affect new mums, dads, bumps and babies.

1 in 10 children born in the UK have a health difficulty or are born premature, yet knowledge and information available to parents of these children is limited and patchwork.

Up to 1 in 5 women will suffer mental health issues during pregnancy and the year after birth.

Best Beginnings supports all parents across the UK in giving their children the best start in life and helping parents navigate the changing physical and mental states that parenthood brings.
