| Tommy's Parent Friendly Awards - celeb mums join the celebrations - winners announced! - 03/19/2008 |
Celebrities including Carrie and David Grant, Nancy Sorrell, Tamara Beckwith and Dr. Linda Papadopoulos gathered at London's Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Friday 14th March, to announce the winners of the 2008 Parent Friendly Awards, hosted by Tommy's, the baby charity and sponsored by Sunsail.
The star-studded awards ceremony announced which companies parents have voted best at providing an excellent product or service for them. The aim of the Awards is to improve the overall standard of facilities on offer, to ensure that parents' lives are less stressful.
The ceremony also included the Tommy's Angel and Hero Award (sponsored by Tesco and ASDA respectively) - which doesn't go to a company - but to two individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help someone with a pregnancy related problem.
MIDIRS would like to offer their congratulations to midwife Sally Bostock who was presented with the Tommy's Hero Award, having been nominated by patient and now friend Louise Kerkhoff. Louise and husband Dirk suffered an agonising time when they lost a baby boy who was born prematurely at 27 weeks, they then went onto to have a healthy baby boy, Harrison James at 32 weeks - Harrison is now nearly three years old. Sadly, due to further pregnancy complications, Louise and Dirk went on to lose two more baby boys also born prematurely at 22 and 24 weeks. Throughout it all Louise's midwife Sally remained a constant support and she went above and beyond the call of duty - she truly is their 'hero'. |
