Please could we ask for your vote for nominee and Baby Lifeline’s Founder Judy Ledger?

The forum3 Alternative Rich List: Life isn’t just about money…

Now in its third year, The Alternative Rich List recognises the true heroes in society, those whose wealth is measured not in pounds and pennies but in the way they enrich others’ lives through their actions. This year, more than 150 people were nominated by members of the public for their work.

Each year The Alternative Rich List brings attention to those people who are rich in terms of life experience and wealthy in how they have inspired others. Forum 3’s panel of not-for-profit peers has selected a short list of 11 people who rightly deserve their place on The 2010 Alternative Rich List which includes Judy for the inspirational work she has carried out through Baby Lifeline.

Judy Ledger is Chief Executive of Baby Lifeline, a national charity to offer loving care and support to pregnant mothers and newborn babies across the UK. Judy started the charity in 1981 after tragically losing three premature babies, determined to improve hospital equipment and help others in similar situations. Her dogged determination has raised more than £8 million for the charity, equipping neonatal units across the UK with essentials including incubators and scanners, and providing training and education programmes for doctors, midwives and other health professionals.

Despite advances to medical science, more than 8,500 babies still die at or around the time of birth in the UK each year, a figure Baby Lifeline aims to decrease. Attracting the support of Sir Ben Kingsley, Sir Richard Branson, Dame Judi Dench, Jimmi Harkishin, Kate Ford and many others Judy has also travelled to the Middle East, including Kuwait and Iraq, and much of Europe training thousands of health professionals.

A panel of not-for-profit advisers has prepared a shortlist of those nominated for their efforts and attitude. Now it’s time for you to vote.

2010 voting is now open

Please take the time to review the Alternative Rich List and cast your vote for the individual you’d like to see recognised for the difference they’ve made to society.
