National Lottery Olympic Run · 21 July 2013

We’re here to inform, support and advocate for everyone affected by pregnancy loss. Miscarriage, ectopic and molar pregnancy can be a deeply distressing and difficult experience, and everyone who experiences pregnancy loss and its impact should get the understanding, care and support they need.

Story

I started running to get fit after my first miscarriage. Took it slowly and soon built it up to regular 5k runs.

In the meantime, more miscarriages and a much wanted baby...

This July I am going to suddenly go from 5k to 5 miles in a run of a lifetime to someone like me...

Me, running in the Olympic Stadium... and a whole 5 miles...

What a great thing to do before my 40th birthday later this year...

 

The Miscarriage Association forums helped me immensely. Being able to share my experiences and getting help was what I needed at the time. Please help an important cause to my heart.

Thanks
