London Landmarks Half Marathon 2021 · 1 August 2021 ·

'Abigail' our mascot bear will have her debut race, she will run alongside our team of 36 runners in the LLHM 2021, joined by Vice President Julie Etchingham!

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.
