Story
We are running for Petals, the baby loss counselling charity. They provide specialist counselling services for women, men and couples who have suffered the devastating loss of a pregnancy or death of a baby. It is a sad reality that in the UK, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, 1 in 200 babies will be stillborn every year, over 5000 pregnancies will be terminated for medical reasons each year and 24 babies die shortly after birth every single week. Petals delivers hundreds of counselling sessions every month. Each session cost Petals £80, so we would like our sponsorship to fund as many sessions as possible, so many more parents can be supported.
We are immensely grateful for the support we received from Petals - the service they provide is invaluable to grieving parents and it means a lot to us to be fundraising for such an amazing charity. Thank you so much in advance for your support and we hope to see some of you out there in the crowds on 8th October!
