5k everyday for 365 days! · 25 November 2017

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It's Monday 6th November 2017 and I've just had this crazy idea...

I've been in a weird place over the last couple of months. We had a missed miscarriage in May, and as I get closer to the estimated due date I'm finding I'm struggling more and more.  I know I am unhealthy. 4+ years of infertility and 2 years of fertility treatment. It has taken its toll on my body and mind.  I've felt the need to do something a bit mad, a little drastic.  I want to get fit again, I want to be healthier both physically and mentally.  I want to raise awareness of this terrible thing, of how it can affect people.  I want to heal. And I need motivation.  So I am here, putting it out there, that I am doing this crazy thing.  

Starting from Saturday 25th November 2017 I will be running (or walking or crawling!) 5 km everyday for a whole year.  365 days. 1825 km. 

Help me stay motivated! Cheer me on, come running with me, keep me on task, donate here! Help me raise £1825 for The Miscarriage Association. One pound for every kilometer.

The Miscarriage Association provide support and information to those who lose a baby in pregnancy.  They need £200,000 a year to keep current services running, and they'd like to do much more.
