Story

<p>I am running&nbsp;the Inverness half marathon on Sunday the 11th March 2012 along with Nina Walker, Pamela Henry, Jo McCorgray, Lynn Kirkpatrick, Karen McGinty and Rae Morrison&nbsp;all from our Jog Scotland group.&nbsp; We're&nbsp;running in aid of the charity Action on Pre-eclampsia.&nbsp; This is very important to me.&nbsp; I feel there are not enough answers when it comes to pre-eclampsia.</p> <p>In January 2010 I was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia, I was only 26 weeks pregnant.&nbsp; I was flown from&nbsp;Raigmore Hospital in Inverness to the Royal Alexandra Hospital&nbsp;in Paisley as Raigmore&nbsp;were&nbsp;unable to look after a baby&nbsp;born earlier than 8 weeks&nbsp;early and they were assuming I was going to need an emergency caesarean.&nbsp; One day after going into my local hospital the Belford&nbsp;I was now in&nbsp;Paisley and&nbsp;on the 25th January 2010 my son Fynn was born by emergency caesarean.&nbsp; My organs were giving up and the surgeon had no choice but to operate.&nbsp; At 13.5 weeks early my son was not strong enough and only survived for 6 hours.&nbsp; This was my third pregnancy and I did not have pre-eclampsia in the previous two.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>After an awful year I&nbsp;joined the local Jog Scotland group in February 2011 as a beginner and have set myself this challenge.&nbsp; Running&nbsp;makes you feel great and if I can make any money for this charity I will&nbsp;be very thankful for your donations.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
