Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 7th June I will be tackling the 116 km road race through the New Forest with a couple of MAMIL friends.

While generating an excuse for my normal gait of walking like I just got off a horse, I will be raising funds for BrightPIP - a fantastic charity whose goal is “Changing the future one baby at a time”.

BrightPIP provides therapist support to parents and infants facing significant challenges such as mental health crises, domestic abuse, housing instability, and poverty. Without early intervention, these challenges can disrupt infant development, resulting in poor mental health and cycles of intergenerational trauma.

BrightPIP's impact is demonstrated through measurable outcomes: 89% of parents report improved mental well-being, 92% report improved relationships with their child, and 56% show reduced concerns regarding child development. These outcomes lay the foundation for healthier, happier families and stronger communities, helping to break cycles of trauma and disadvantage.

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.
