Story
I will be raising money to relieve the suffering of parents and their families who suffer bereavement through the death of a baby before or at birth, and to advance the knowledge and expertise of healthcare professionals and others in supporting and dealing with the effects of such a death on the bereaved.
Sadly 15 babies are either stillborn or die a neonatal death every day in the UK. Despite this shocking statistic, many hospitals remain ill prepared to deal with these events. This campaign can make a huge difference to families, healthcare professionals and hospitals up and down the country.
Abigail's Footsteps celebrated its 10th birthday in 2020 but unfortunately due to COVID-19 were unable to celebrate. This is all going to change in 2021 when a team of runners will be taking on a number of running challenges throughout the year.
Royal Parks Half Marathon (virtual) - April
London Landmark Half Marathon - August
and many more to be confirmed.....
