Story

We are so proud to say we are now officially part of #TeamTommys, we'll be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in March to raise money for Tommy’s. 

Tracey has always been sporty and currently plays in her local hockey team, but anyone who knows her knows she's never enjoyed or been good at the running side of it. She's taken up regular running this summer after having a go at the local 5km park run and then running the Wells 5k and doing well. Seeing the improvement in her fitness and with a big birthday coming up next year it has spured her do something out of her comfort zone. 

Matt has taken up more fitness and even surprised himself after passing fitness tests for the Fire Service and is now a local Fire Fighter. He started running this summer and after 3 weeks entered the Wells 10k in which he beat his target of 1 hour. He occasionally runs a 5k, but tends to keep fit by just his work.

Tommy’s fund research into stillbirth, premature birth and miscarriage, and provide information for parents-to-be. The reason we have chosen to run for Tommy’s is because 13 years ago Tracey suffered 3 miscarriages at 12 weeks, we’ll never forget the pain and heartache but she was one of the lucky ones who went on to have healthy children, unfortunately others aren’t so lucky. 

In a previous marriage Matt had a child who was born premature at 28 weeks. His name was Louis, he survived all of his treatments but unfortunately after he returned home, he died of bronchial pneumonia aged 6 months.

Please give what you can, your support will make a massive difference and really help us to make it over the finish line! Thank you so much x
