Hello friends! I’ve decided to take on the Run Balmoral 5k at the end of April. It may not sound like a challenge but last year I couldn’t run for 5 minutes let alone 5km! More importantly I’m running for a really vital cause – Women’s Health Research. So often women’s health issues are overlooked, brushed off or dismissed. Before 1993, women were rarely included in clinical trials and even today lab mice are predominantly male! We also have to consider inequalities affecting women of colour - black women are three times more likely to die in pregnancy than white women are.

But researchers at the University of Aberdeen have come together to create the Aberdeen Centre for Women’s Health Research to improve the lives of women across their lifecourse through excellence in research. Improving, preventing and treating women’s health conditions from fertility through pregnancy, menstrual disorders and precancerous conditions and much more. Their research has international impact, and you can help support them by donating to my JustGiving page today!

Thank you so much for reading 😊

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Let's help advance this crucial research together!

Thank you for your support!
