Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm excited to be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April 2025 in aid of award-winning West Kent charity Baby Umbrella.
Baby Umbrella provides free breastfeeding and early parenting support and this charity was a total lifesaver for us at the beginning of our feeding journey.
Nora initially struggled to put on weight and as expected we were increasingly anxious about this and worried about her feeding. Thankfully we were recommended Baby Umbrella where we received, completely free, 1-1 support from one of their lovely and super knowledgeable practitioners. With a little support our problems soon turned around and I'm so happy to say that we were able to feed for as long as we wanted.
For too many families, this support is not available and I'm raising money for Baby Umbrella so they can continue to provide free, compassionate and evidence-based support for all families who need it. Baby Umbrella receives no government funding to provide this crucial service and relies totally on donations - please be generous! Just £50 could support a local family like us to receive the support they need.
