Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. You can also donate via Text. E.g Just text NATE79 £10 to 70070.

I have set myself a personal challenge to cycle 46 miles this Summer across Swansea. It will also give me the opportunity to raise a decent sum of money for my chosen charity. 

A few years ago my wife and I suffered a miscarriage of our own and it was a very, very sad time in our lives, which left us with more questions than answers which was tough to take. The guidance made available by the Miscarriage Association helped us through ths period of our lives. It gave us the confidence to try again and last year we were lucky enough to have beautiful baby boy.

The Miscarriage Association provide support and information when it's most needed - and I want to help them continue doing that for others in this situation.

Income from event sponsorship makes up more than a quarter of the M.A.'s £200,000 annual budget, so every penny of your sponsorship will really make a difference. What's more, if you are a UK taxpayer and Gift Aid whatever you give, you're adding another 25% to the charity without it costing you a thing.

Take a look at the figures and see what your money can do:

£5 pays for sending out a pack of 4 information leaflets on miscarriage

£17 pays for helpline support and a leaflet pack for one person

£20 means staff can send leaflet packs to four people

£36 will staff the helpline for an hour (respondng to 2 to 4 requests for help)

£50 pays for one hour's outreach costs, telling 10 nurses, midwives or doctors about The M.A.

£250 pays for a training sessions for GPs or hospital doctors

Thank you for your support
