Story

I am taking on the 5km a day in October to support Tommy's vital work to help save babies' lives. I would appreciate any support you could give me and Tommy's.

We are raising money for Tommy’s, the baby loss charity, in loving memory of the precious babies our daughter and her husband have sadly lost. We would have been grandparents, and although we never had the chance to meet these little babies, they will always hold a very special place in our hearts and will never be forgotten.

Watching our daughter and her husband experience the heartbreak of losing their babies has been incredibly difficult for our whole family. There are no words that can truly describe the pain of losing a much-loved and wanted baby, or the emptiness left behind.

We hope that by raising money for Tommy’s, we can help support other families who find themselves facing the unimaginable pain of baby loss. Tommy’s provides such important support, information and understanding to parents and families at a time when they need it most.

Every donation, however small, would mean so much to us and would help turn some of our sadness into something positive. We are doing this in memory of the little lives who were so deeply loved, and who will always be part of our family. ❤️
