March for mothers fundraising event, London

March for Mothers
March for Mothers is a 5km sponsored walk to help raise funds for Health Poverty Action’s work enabling women around the world to give birth safely. The walk will take place on 17th March 2012 (the Saturday before Mothers Day) at Greenwich Park.
The aim is to raise awareness of the 340,000 women who die each year in pregnancy and childbirth, while also raising funds to help save the lives of mums and babies in some of the world’s poorest countries.
March for Mothers is for everyone: mums, dads, children, aunties, uncles, friends… So why not get together and prepare to put your best foot forward on 17 March.
Both routes are over easy ground, ideal for mums with pushchairs and mums-to-be. So please come and join us, even if you have your own bump on board. The 5km walk is suitable for all ages. Give a mother’s day present with a difference and get friends and family together to give the gift of life and hope to very vulnerable mothers and children.
