Story
On the 9th July, myself and a group of wonderful others will be taking on 6 classic CrossFit workouts in two hours to raise money for Tommy's.
Eamo and I have three beautiful children, and, having suffered two unbelievably traumatic miscarriages in the last few years, we know just how lucky we are to have them. Millie, our third child, somehow managed to survive a severe bleed at the beginning of my pregnancy with her. A little warrior, she continued to grow, however I developed severe pre-eclampsia and she was born prematurely. I was incredibly poorly as a result and we both ended up in hospital for almost two weeks.
I feel very lucky to say we both made it through that experience. We are both home, both well and Millie is thriving. However, I know a lot of families aren't so lucky. I know the unbearable pain of losing a baby, which is why Tommy's is the chosen charity for this event. There is still so much that is unknown about pregnancy complications, pre-eclampsia included, and Tommy's is working on vital research to try and understand more in order to help prevent families from having to face the unimaginable.
If you can spare a few quid to spur us on in this event, we would be forever grateful. A workout every 20 minutes for two hours is going to be tough going, but we will dig deep as we know it's for such a good cause. So if you can go and have.a dig down the back of the sofa and throw any spare change our way please, trust me when I say every single penny helps.
Thank you, so much.
