[AD] Tommy’s Splashathon 2019 – Fundraising for life-saving research

5 July 2019

I’m working with Tommy’s to help promote their Splashathon at Waterbabies, a fundraising event to raise money for life-saving research and to help families that experience miscarriage, baby loss or premature birth.

Tommy's Splashathon 2019

I was devastated to see the statistics on paper that, every year, 1 in 4 women lose a baby during pregnancy or birth. That’s shockingly high! I had an ectopic pregnancy about 5 years ago, and at the time, I felt so lonely going through it because no one was talking openly about baby loss or miscarriage.

But when I shared my story, so many people reached out, telling me their own stories that I was glad I used my platform to help normalise the conversation around miscarriage and baby loss in some way.

So when Tommy contacted me asking if I wanted to help promote the Splashathon as a fundraising event for this cause, I was thrilled to be able to use my platform yet again to help raise any money for other families that have gone through the loss of a baby or pregnancy, and to fund important research so that, hopefully, a lot less people have to go through this heartache.

How you can help fundraise or join the Splashathon

The theme of this year’s Splashathon is Peppa Pig Pirates and Princesses. If you are a member of Waterbabies, you can take part by attending one of these special classes all Summer and even dress your little ones up as pirates or princesses.

We attended a class at our local Waterbabies and we loved it; all the mums, dads and kids were joining in, there were lots of activities in the water, including a challenge to swim a width – it was so much fun! You can find out more about the Splashathon here.

Even if you can’t attend a Splashathon class, you can still help. Tommy’s is hoping to raise £1M this year; if you can and would like to help, you can donate on the Splashathon fundraising page; whatever you can spare will be a big help! I found it very easy to donate, I used my PayPal account and it was all done within a couple of minutes.

I filmed a video sharing our swimming essentials for babies and toddlers, so if you are taking part in the Splashathon, or you have just started taking your kids swimming, click here to watch the video, and let me know what are your swimming essentials.

You can also take this fun quiz by Tommy’s and Waterbabies to find out what is your little one’s swim style!

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
Pretty much where we’ve spent the last 2 days! 🐾🐶 Benji is settling in brilliantly and I’m so proud of the kids for showing him a lot of love and affection... and of course, plenty of playfulness! 🥰 Now we need to work on his nipping - those puppy teeth are sharp and it seems little kiddies’ wiggly toes are irresistible! Any tips? 🤎

Yesterday we added a little furry friend to our family and he is just the most perfect little pup! 😍 We’re so in love with him already, the kids literally haven’t left his side. We’ve wanted a puppy since before we had kids, but decided to wait a bit.  Benji joining our family now couldn’t have come at a better time and he’s such a loving pup. Just look at that face! ☺️

He is a chocolate roan show cocker spaniel and he’s 8 weeks old today 🍫❤️ His first night went so well, I’ll have to tell you all about it at some point, but for now I’ll leave you with these pup pics to warm your hearts! 🥰
