Hi, my name is Tina and I’m the face behind the brand Wrap it By Tina. We’re a gifting company and our aim is to bring smiles all around. That’s through the power of gift giving and also by supporting Tommy’s the baby charity, who we donate to from all of our products to help fund research into preventing baby loss.
In Jan 2016 - we had a miscarriage. We were open to some degree in telling people but felt very isolated. By isolated I mean, I couldn't find a physical person to talk to, cry with or share common feelings because no one likes to talk about this. I had counselling which helped but didn't end the hurt. Eventually I found an online community of women through Tommy's who talked so openly about their experience and allowed me to finally relate my emotions to someone who knew what it felt like.
When relaunching our business in July 2018, I vowed to support Tommy's for their amazing work by donating from all of our sales. Having run my first race at the London Landmarks Half Marathon in 2019, going from couch to 13.1 miles in 30 days tested my limits and so I decided to do it again in 2020. Unfortunately Covid-19 didn't allow 2020 to go through as planned and so I ran the Local Landmarks Half Marathon instead. There is no stopping me now as I will be taking part in the 2021 half marathon too. I'm not a runner of any sort but I know it will help raise well deserved funds for a better cause.
I'm running for Bubba Nandha & all of the angels in the sky x
