Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am lucky enough to have my 2nd ballot place this year at the London Marathon. I am going to raise money for Twins Trust bereavement group in memory of my twins Charlie and Joshua. 

Sadly twins and triplets are more likely to die as a result of stillbirth or neonatal death. Twins Trust is committed to undertaking research to better the lives of our families and improve the health outcomes from multiple pregnancies. They aim to stop 580 babies dying by 2022 and 1,100 from needing neonatal care.

They have a bereavement group that supports bereaved families of twins, triplets and more, including an online support group, befriending support and a bereavement booklet. They also send out quarterly newsletters and have a memorial page and they have a Twitter page where they share daily updates @twinstrustbsg.

I received the best support from Tamba (now Twins Trust) after Charlie and Joshua died and now feel privileged to work for them and to support bereaved families after their loss.
