Story

<p>Thank you for taking the time to visit this page. Gary Martin has kindly volunteered to do the three peaks marathon for the charity <strong>Aching Arms.</strong></p> <p><span>The Three Peaks Marathon is an extreme athletics event over the full marathon distance, off road, and incorporates the three highest mountains</span></p> <p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span>In Yorkshire, Pen y Ghent(2,277 ft),Whernside(2,415 ft) and Ingleborough (2,377 ft). It takes place on 28 April and has a reputation for the brutality of t</span><span>he course</span></p> <h2><strong>Aching Arms is a baby loss charity run by a group of bereaved mothers who have experienced the pain and emptiness of leaving hospital without their much wanted baby. </strong></h2> <p>Our aim is to raise awareness of the impact of pregnancy and baby loss and bring some comfort to bereaved parents and their families after the loss of a baby. <br><br>We provide Aching Arms Bears to hospitals for midwives to give to newly bereaved mothers. <br><br>By giving the gift of a teddy bear our hope is that a bereaved mother will know she is not alone or forgotten and she may find comfort in holding the soft bear in times of distress. <br><br>Every bear that we give to the hospitals is donated in memory of another baby's life lost too soon. <br><br>With each bear will be information that connects bereaved mothers to others through larger UK charities that can give ongoing support to her and her family.</p>
