We both appreciate you taking the time to visit our fundraising page and will be very grateful if you decide to support us today.
We are both lucky to have been given a place in this years London marathon on the 23rd of April 2023. We will be running 26.2 miles to raise awareness and funds for a charity close to our friends & family's hearts - Aching Arms.
Aching Arms is a charity that offers a support service to parents after their loss, whether it was during pregnancy, at birth or soon after. The charity also gives comfort bears to hospitals and hospices, for midwives and nurses to offer to bereaved parents in their care.
We hope you are able and willing to help us raise as much as we can for the Aching arms charity.
In the UK, around 3,000 babies are stillborn each year and thousands more parents experience early and late miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, termination for medical reasons, neonatal death and loss through separation from their baby. There are an enormous number of families affected by the loss of a baby and others who face infertility after a loss, and/or loss after successful fertility treatment. Aching Arms, which began as a small grassroots charity, has seen demand for its service double in the last 12 months.
The vital funds raised will help the charity to offer comfort and support to bereaved families following the devastating loss of their baby which can sometimes be life-changing. Thank you for helping me and the charity to make a difference.
