Royal Parks Half Marathon in support of Tommy's

Tommy's believe that in this day and age it is unacceptable that 1 in 4 women will lose a baby during pregnancy and birth. When a pregnancy fails or a baby dies, the family affected can be devastated and often have a desperate need to know why. Frustrated at the lack of research that meant they could rarely answer this question, two obstetricians working in the maternity unit at St Thomas' hospital London were inspired to start fundraising for more research into pregnancy problems.

Today they lead the way in maternal and foetal research into the causes of premature birth, still birth and miscarriage.
