Story

Hello Everyone, 

Welcome to my page. The news is now officially out, I am finally running the London Marathon! (This is a tick off the bucket list, I can't believe it is finally happening)!

I have chosen to run for the charity Tommy's as they really do some amazing things.    

- Fund vital research into the causes of miscarriage, still birth and premature birth.

- Support families who have experienced the loss of a baby whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, or termination for medical reasons.     

- Work to improve maternity care and provide support and work for pregnant people and their families.

It is estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. At present no support is available for families unless they have experienced 3 losses. Tommy's recognise this is unacceptable and they are currently campaigning and calling on the government to change this and support parents after every devastating miscarriage. If you can, please sign the petition on this link:

I plan to do some fundraising events/activities soon so watch this space!

Any donations received would be greatly appreciated :-)

Thank you all so much for your support and I will keep you updated on my marathon journey. Its going to be a tough one but as most of you know, I love a challenge!
