What am I going to do? I am aiming to complete the Blenheim Triathlon on 9th June!
This will be my first triathlon, and training was going very well... until.. 2 weeks ago, due to lots of rain and slippery surfaces I ended up with a broken right hand :-(

Please take the time to look at my short video, usually 4-6 weeks in a cast!

My flatmate Jen has worked for this charity for over a year and as such I have been given an insight into the amazing work this small charity does. I was lucky to be born where and to who I was but not everyone is as fortunate. Best Beginnings works to address this inequality and give every baby the best start in life!

It is the first time I have done anything like this, and I am currently ever so slightly unfit, so it will definitely be a challenge!

I am walking / running the 10K this year in memory of my nephew Ben Goldring who tragically passed away and I ask that you all dig deep to help other children have a healthy start in life.

I passsionately believe, like Best Beginnings, that every baby should be able to have the healthiest possible start in life and so I hope people will support me and the charity by sponsoring me to do the run.

Best Beginnings small but dedicated team work tirelessly to create resources, run projects and deliver change programmes to reduce inequalities in child health across the UK.

As a paediatrician, I understand the importance of the preventative approach Best Beginnings takes and I value the focus the charity places on demonstrating the impact of their work. I ask that you dig deep and sponsor me as genersously as you can.

Together we can make a difference for future generations.

At the finish line Paul said: "This is the 3rd year I've run  for Best Beginnings. It gets better each year with more runners joining us. It's a great cause, and needed more than ever in the present economic climate. Looking after the babies makes good health and economic sense for everybody." ]]>Wed, 05 Oct 2011 15:55:26 GMT<![CDATA[ Support our breastfeeding work ]]>It's only with your help that we can continue to support 600,000 new parents in the UK every year.
