We hope you can support us running the Parks Half Marathon on the 10th October for the charity Petals. 

They support people going through an unthinkable time and my family are eternally grateful for the work they do, and support they give.

Some insight into Petals:

It's a sad reality that in the UK, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. 1 in 200 babies will be stillborn every year. Over 5,000 pregnancies will be terminated for medical reasons each year. And 24 babies die shortly after birth every single week. 

For many parents, these tragic deaths result not only in grief but also in trauma. Petals counsellors provide a safe space to guide parents through the grief and trauma of their devastating experience to a place of reconciliation and hope for the future. 

They do this through their free counselling service, which specialises in supporting parents who have lost their pregnancy or baby. Their national in person and online video counselling service provides psychological support to people across the UK. 

By supporting this challenge you are helping raise money to fund counselling sessions for bereaved parents. These sessions provide a lifeline to parents who otherwise may not get the support they need.

Any support you give will make a huge impact, so thank you.
