Michelle Burke is our trainer for Gillingham, Gravesham and Medway and has been helping out with a local campaign to raise funds to get a local three year old boy to America for vital treatment to help fight a rare form of cancer he is suffering from. Michelle heard about the local campaign and was spurred on to turn one of her buggyfit classes into a fundraising class and donate all proceeds to the campaign. Her actions picked up a small clipping in the local paper:

Tommy’s The Let’s get baby friendly Awards 2012
On Friday 16 March 2012, we here at buggyfit HQ and a couple of our buggyfit trainers Maggie Fordham (one of our Cambridge trainers) and Emma Dart (our Cheshire trainer) were all invited to the Landmark Hotel in London for the Tommy’s Let Get Baby Friendly Awards. It was a great day, but with mixed emotion as tributes were paid to the friends, families who have offered support to those who have suffered pregnancy complications or the loss of a baby. The day started with a lovely drinks reception (always a welcome break for us buggyfitters), followed by a delicious lunch and ending with the baby friendly company awards which recognise the companies making a real difference to families lives, ensuring parents needs are met. There were a handful of celebrities attending the awards too, all of which presented the awards to the winning companies and to the friends and families and brave children who had all been supported by Tommys great work through their tough and sad times. We had the lovely Kirsten O’Brien on our table and after lunch the buggyfit gang went searching for a few snaps with all the other celebrities to remember the day by…
