This summer Jorge and I will be cycling from London to Roubaix over 4 days, raising money in support of Action Medical Research. We’ve supported Action for a number of years now, but this year, more than ever, feels more poignant. Action are the leading UK-wide charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children and young people.

This year Jorge and I welcomed Rosie into our family - a health baby born at full term. But had it not been for medical intervention at 21 weeks, this wouldn’t have been the case. Rosie tried to make an early escape - but this was picked up by ultrasound, which was developed by Action Medical! Amongst a host of other things, Action are researching factors in premature birth, and also treatments to help babies who are born prematurely.

It’s a privilege to be able to help support Action. We’d love any donation you can make to the team this year.
