We support anyone affected by pre-eclampsia to stop needless deaths of mums and babies.

Story

I remember vividly the evening we rushed Maddy to A&E, with symptons of mild preeclampsia, which then developed into class 2 HELLP syndrome. All I knew was she was not doing well, and when we were told what was happening, it was terrifying. Knowing there is a high possibility you may lose both your partner, and unborn child to this condition brings everything into perspective with an enormous thump. Nothing can prepare you for that news. Thinking back to the evening brings back difficult memories, but I'm lucky enough to be able to hold Maddy and Winter Lily everyday, and am grateful they are here. Raising awareness for this cause is incredibly close to our hearts, and will help people now, and in the future to get the information and help they need when  faced with the situation we found ourselves in.

Please, even if you only give pennies, it all helps, and you get to see me running, which is definitely worth a few quid!
