Supporters Section
If you've put on a fundraising event in your area we want to hear about it.
In our new supporters section we celebrate stories of success.
Read on for some great ideas to. Here's a selection of what people have been up to:
Our Chairman Adrian Brown successfully swam, without a wetsuit, and dressed as a penguin, in the Antarctic ocean whilst on holiday there.
He says "Following
a short practice swim in a seawater pool at 2 degrees centigrade I
headed down to the ocean. The night before I couldn't sleep. I am not
sure whether I was more worried about being embarrassed hopping round
the beach dressed as a penguin or the swim itself. NOW I KNOW! IT WAS
ABSOLUTELY FREEZING. THE COLD PENETRATED LIKE A KNIFE. Afterwards
someone told me that the average survival time would be only 15 minutes
and that most people go unconscious after 5 and get frostbite after 4
minutes. I'm glad they hadn't told me before. Fortunately help was near
by with towels (cold) and I rapidly put my thermals back on." Congratulations Adrian, it's certainly inspiration to do something a little bit different. At your own risk though!
Emily Gelson took on the ultimate challenge running the Flora London Marathon. After her gruelling challenge, she said "It was a great achievement to finish the London Marathon and a huge pleasure to support Maternity Worldwide". Congratulations Emily, you are an inspiration to us all!
Michelle Fontana successfully completed the 10k run along the Brighton seafront on the 19th November 2006.
Colin Nash ran the Cardiff Half Marathon in October 2008
Well done Michelle & Colin , great job on your running achievements and fundraising efforts!
Vivienne Winter ran the Dublin Marathon for Maternity Worldwide, a fantastic feat. Thanks Vivienne for your support and congratulations!
Birthday Wishes
Perpetua Kirby & Jenny Stroud both celebrated their birthdays by raising much needed funds for us. Many Happy returns to you both.
Musical Sensations
The Bernewoode Singers donated £500 in August 08. Carol Singing has also proved a great way of generating funds, Jessie & Rosie went carol singing in London and Michael Shennan played his violin in Kew Station.
