Team Daisy Marlborough - Summer Run Challenge

We are a group of expectant and new Mums who understand the importance of monitoring baby’s movements towards the end of pregnancy to help prevent stillbirth. We value all the work kicks count are doing to raise awareness and would love to help by getting out as a group and having some fun whilst challenging our tired Mum—bodies to a 5K run!
