Anyone who has had a baby or spent time with a new family knows just how tough it can be . Women and their partners have to cope with massive changes in their lives, often with very little support. Frome Birth Talk is the only local organisation offering free counselling for pregnant or new mothers, as well as various non-judgmental and nurturing support groups. I became a trustee for the orgnaisation and am now doing this fundraising challenge because I believe we should do more to support families, especially in the first childbearing year.
I chose the Tough Mudder because I seem to spend a lot of time watching my own three children rolling around in the dirt, but rarely get to join in. For once I'm going to be the one caked in mud and (hopefully) laughing my head off at the same time. If people are kind enough to give me money to do this, then all the better. Any donations, no matter how small, are most welcome. Thank you for your support!
