To all those who watch one born every minute and think that midwifery involves eating a lot of cake and drinking a lot of tea, Clare and Debbie are here to prove us all wrong.
Neither one of them would call themselves 'runners', however, that didn't stop them from signing up to tackle the streets (whatever the weather) at the iconic London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday 7th April!
After dusting off their trainers, Clare and Debbie threw themselves into training! A few blisters and bumps in the road later, not to mention the mental challenge of braving the cold weather to run after a busy shift, they feel (almost) ready for race day.
Their motivation (other than a cup of tea and a slice of cake at the end) is to raise money to transform the current Oasis birth centre at the Princess Royal University Hospital into a welcoming, peaceful, serene and empowering space where pregnant people can birth their babies with joy and positivity!
Room 12 on the Oasis Birth Centre is currently a very clinical area, with blank white walls and an uninspiring ‘hospital feel’. And so Debbie and Clare want this to be the first room to receive the makeover, which they are calling 'from bare to beautiful!'
As well as sprucing up the space, Debbie and Clare want to raise money for state-of-the-art facilities that will support mothers in having a physiological birthing experience.
