After a long journey to get pregnant, our joy suddenly turned to sadness when we lost our precious baby at 6 weeks, finding out at 10 weeks.I will be running 21 miles across July.  Experts estimate that each year around 250,000 pregnancies end in miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy in the UK. This suggests that around 21,000 pregnancies will be lost in July alone. My 21 miles reflects this figure. 

I am doing this challenge  to spend the month of July reflecting on this figure by raising awareness of the issues surrounding pregnancy loss, signposting people to the services we offer, and raising funds to ensure that the M.A can continue to be there for those that need us most.Last year, over 100 supporters walked, ran, cycled and swam throughout July, so you won't be doing this alone. Please look for the hashtag #MilesThatMatter, and know that we are cheering you on from afar!"Fundraising for the Miles that Matter challenge has given me a real sense of achievement. It has been a great way to give me a focus, to give something back to the association for the support and resources and to raise awareness of a cause that (in my opinion) is not spoken about enough!
