Downing Street Drinks Reception!

We were invited to Downing St. for a drinks reception last Wednesday (18th May), for our contribution to pre and postnatal exercise and fundraising efforts for Tommy’s Baby charity.
Obviously flattered to be invited, we entered the famous gates, were cheked by security and once we were behind THAT door, were treated to wine and canapes!
Inside, we chatted to many people from both the corporate world linked with pre and postnatal life, plus some amazing couples who have had the misfortune to need to utilise the great research Tommy’s does that our funding goes towards. Especially Pinz and Jeet from Greenford who are looking forward to the birth of a Daughter soon- Best wishes.
Last year Buggyfit organised an event called ‘The Baby Race’ in conjuntion with Tommy’s and raised over £10,000. In September 2011 we have 5 venues for ‘The Baby Race’ , so are on track to raise £50k + (See www.tommys.org to see how you can get involved.

Tommys baby friendly awards

Last Friday Hattie, Our buggyfit trainer in Windsor & I got the chance to kick off our trainers and slide into our heels to join many celebs and other guests at the Tommy’s Baby friendly awards at The Langham Hotel, London.
The mood was up beat whilst the subject was serious, and we heard many sad and inspirational stories from parents who have benefitted greatly from Tommy’s fantastic work. After a delicious lunch and a couple of glasses of wine (just the two honest!) we took hold of our goody bags and departed. do take a look at the Tommy’s website, and remember to sign up for our Buggyfit Tommys’ Baby races on September 10th 2011 – 5 locations in England and Wales to choose from.
