Action Medical Research is a UK-wide charity funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies and children. We fight for answers that can lead to cures, treatments and medical breakthroughs for some of the toughest fights our children face.

Story

Thank you for visiting my sponsorship page.

The reason I chose this charity is between the age of 18-30 I heard the word "I'm pregnant" 7 times in 4 different relationships, 3 miscarriage and a stillborn with 1, the other 3 a miscarriage each, I never went through this the women did and no woman should have to go through that!

I was working in a sales company in my 30s and ended up working with this charity, finding out they where looking at ways to prevent Preclampsia, Premature Births and stillborns, it obviously peaked my interest, my time with the charity had me meet so many women that had been through it themselves, then there's their work on preventing Premature Births, babies born so early they put in incubator, tubes coming out of them to help them breath, no parents should ever have to go through that, it's a Baby!

Then their work on Meningitis treatments, something that leaves kids blind, limbless, again, no child should ever have to endure that!

Action Medical Research is the leading UK-wide charity saving and changing children’s lives through medical research.

For 65 years they have helped pioneer ways to prevent disease and develop treatments benefiting millions

Their research has helped to beat Polio in the UK, Develop Ultrasound, Discover Folic Acid prevents Spina Bifida, Fight Meningitis, Prevent Stillbirths, Preclampsia and Premature Birth

For all you parents...

Remember when you found out you where going to have a baby

You get the date for your scan, you go, you're all excited and a little nervous, the midwife comes in, puts the gel on your belly and the next thing you hear, b'dum, b'dum, b'dum you just heard your baby heartbeat for the 1st time, you turn and see on the screen this little thing then you get a picture to take home, all that was made possible due to Action Medical Research, these are the reason you take Folic Acid while pregnant and are pioneers in children's health!

They urgently need to develop more new treatments and cures for sick babies and children!

They can’t do it without you.
