I just heard my gorgeous friend Marina Fogle on the radio yesterday, talking about an amazing charity that she supports, Chasing Zero.
Chasing Zero’s latest initiative called Pregnancy Twinning is such a lovely idea, and although I’ve just had my baby I’m going to see if I can get involved.
Pregnancy Twinning asks UK mums-to-be to twin up with mums-to-be in Malawi, with a one-off donation of £42. This money goes a huge way in helping prevent maternal deaths, by providing better antenatal care, the chance for mothers to give birth in hospital, nutritional support and education on maternal health, not to mention medical support for those mums who are HIV positive. The stats are shocking – a woman in Malawi stands a one in 26 chance of dying during childbirth. Pregnancy Twinning hopes to drastically reduce that number by providing the medical support thousands of Malawi women need with your help.
Share your pregnancy journey by twinning and receive news from your twin-mum, all the way from Malawi. It’s time to make a real difference this Mother’s Day.
Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.
The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.
Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.
Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
