Story

So this year I’m doing something I have NEVER done before, I am running a half marathon for Petals, the baby loss counselling charity. They provide specialist counselling service for women, men and couples who have suffered the devastating loss of a pregnancy or death of a baby. In September 2017 our baby boy Archie sadly passed away at 3 days old. It is a sad reality that in the UK,  24 babies die shortly after birth every single week. Petals delivers hundreds of counselling sessions every month.Myself and my husband both benefited from this service hugely. Each session cost Petals £80, I would like my sponsorship to fund as many sessions as possible, so many more parents can be supported just like we were. So every donation counts!
