Story
In 2018, my nephew, Noah, was stillborn at 38 weeks and having seen how devastating this event was to the whole family, I decided that I would run the Manchester marathon in April 2019, finishing at six hours and forty one minutes. It was both mentally, emotionally and physically draining, but I felt like we achieved something really special on the day.
My niece, Evie, came along in the November of 2019 and during the lockdown, I've missed her everyday.
My sister, Amy and brother in law, Martin, have shown tremendous strength since losing Noah and I grow prouder of my sister everyday for the strength that she shows. I love her very much.
I decided to run the Manchester marathon for the second time and would like to raise money for Aching Arms, whom describe their charity as follows.
"Aching Arms is a baby loss charity run by a group of bereaved parents who have experienced the pain and emptiness of leaving hospital without their baby.
Our aim is to raise awareness of the impact of pregnancy and baby loss and bring some comfort to bereaved parents and their families after the loss of a baby".
The marathon takes place on October 11th and as a family, we would appreciate any contribution you can make towards what we feel is an important charity.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
