This Mother's Day I am supporting Rainbow Trust Children's Charity's ‘Moment for Mum’ campaign, to honour all the mums across England who are caring for a terminally ill or life threatened child.

Every mother has to juggle to keep family life running smoothly.

But for the mum of a terminally ill child, even the most ordinary of tasks can prove almost impossible.

The strength, selflessness and courage these women show every day makes them truly remarkable.

So my message to those brave mums is this: you are amazing, and you deserve this special day to celebrate motherhood and recognise all they achieve and the sacrifices you make every day.

To help Rainbow Trust support more deserving mothers with emotional and practical support, please donate online at rainbowtrust.org.uk/donate or call 01372 220086.
