Over the
next week alone, 1,680 women will
miscarry and
56 babies will be born
prematurely in England and Wales – the
highest rate in Western Europe. Yet
medical research into pregnancy complications has traditionally received
little funding in the UK. That’s why, since its inception in 1992,
Tommy’s has been determined to create a p
regnancy research network of worldwide importance but it can only do this thanks to the
fundraising efforts of the public and companies like
Asda.
Not only can
shoppers enjoy amazing
discounts in store on all their
baby and toddler needs, they can also pick up the exclusive
Peppa Pig Bag for Life (£2) and Peppa and George plush key rings (£2) in aid of Tommy’s.
Every penny that Asda raises goes to fund T
ommy’s scientific research into the causes and
prevention of miscarriages, premature birth and stillbirth and its vital free
pregnancy information line.
And
last year the public helped Asda raise a fantastic
£400,000 for Tommy’s and it needs your help again this year to make sure this
vital research continues – so get shopping!
