Georgina Lennon, a midwife who has been at our Trust for two years, raised over £600 when she completed the Paris Marathon on Sunday 14 April.

The money will go to the MAMA Academy, a stillbirth prevention charity. As a midwife, it’s a charity which is close to Georgina’s heart.

Georgina, of Laindon, said: “I have one of the most rewarding yet challenging jobs and alongside many happy times, we also experience sad times.

“The MAMA Academy is a fantastic charity which works alongside the Royal College of Midwives and NHS England to help babies arrive safely. I’m chuffed to have raised so much money for them taking part in this marathon in the beautiful city of Paris.”

Georgina, 25, completed the marathon in five and a half hours. This is not the first marathon she has done for a great cause; in 2012 she ran the London Marathon for the charity Phab Kids, and in 2017 she ran the Brighton Marathon for Little Buds.
