Thank you so much for taking the time to donate, your support makes a huge difference to so many people.  

I'm taking on my first half marathon, the furthest I will have ever ran!  All in support of Aching Arms, a baby loss charity that has supported my wife and I through the loss of our baby in August 2020.  Something we never expected would happen to us, like many people don't, but baby loss affects many parents and your donations will help people get through some of the toughest days they have faced.  

My wife Francesca has been a huge daily source of inspiration for me, she is resilient, positive and determined.  Losing a baby takes a huge physical and mental toll, and Francesca also had to process the loss of her dad Ray, who sadly lost his battle with Covid in January 2021.  

Through those tough challenges, Francesca has always been a positive force, always supporting me and keeping us on track.  We have continued our journey to become parents and with the support of friends and family we're expecting a baby boy any day and I'm looking forward to seeing him and my wife Francesca at the finish line!   

Your support means so much to Francesca and I, and any amount you donate will make a huge impact on the recovery of other parents that sadly go through baby loss.  Thank you!
