Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Unfortunately we lost our daughter Frances at 26wks on 20 March and it was the hardest thing we have had to go through. Our midwife told us about the Aching Arms charity and we found solace in the Bear donation when we left hospital almost a week later. The charity was set up by a group of bereaved mothers to improve the health and well being of parents who have lost a child. Their aim is to offer friendship and show people they are not alone. This gesture was of great comfort to myself and Hayley, and today we still take comfort in their actions.

In support of the charity together we will be cycling 174 miles on 5 August and I can tell you there will be a few big hills along the way. Amy Loveng, Eleanor Tyrell and John Flavin will be joining us for the cycle. Any support would be greatly appreciated, it's such a good cause that I know helps a lot of people.
