Tell a Friend

"Running the London Marathon for WCF was truly one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences of our lives." (Hannah and James Hodgson, April 2011)

All the staff and trustees at Women and Children First are so proud to announce that Hannah and James Hodgson, not only completed the London Marathon on 17 April 2011, coming in at 4hrs 32 and 4 hours 58 respectively, but also raised over £2000 in the process!

It was a real privilege to see them both at the end, surrounded by congratulating friends, fellow runners, family and home baked brownies.  They looked hot and exhausted, but triumphant.

THANK YOU, HANNAH AND JAMES - Your hard work and intensive training scheudle was all worth it.  And THANK YOU to all of you who so generously supported them. Your donations will make a huge difference to the lives of mothers and their newborn babies in developing countries.

If you are interested in running a race, or already registered for one, and want to raise money for Women and Children First, do get in touch

 

Saving Lives

Up to half a million women and three million newborn babies die each year in pregnancy and childbirth or soon afterwards, the majority of them in Africa and South Asia. For every woman who dies at least twenty more suffer complications which leave them with lifelong disability and pain.

Our unique programmes are saving the lives of mothers and babies every day. We need you to help us to equip women with their most vital survival tool: knowledge.
