On to the next challenge.......!

Last year, I took part in the Snowdon Climb challenge on behalf of Twins Trust.  It was an incredible experience full of laughter, tears and aching legs afterwards!

We raised over £8,000 for Twins Trust last year with that challenge and we are hoping to raise even more funds this year.

On Saturday 24th June I will be taking part in the Scafell Pike Climb on behalf of Twins Trust Bereavement Support Group.  I have been a volunteer (a befriender) with this amazing charity for the last 6 years and I want to raise money and awareness for Twins Trust.

Twins Trust runs a Bereavement Support Group (BSG) to help families cope with the loss of one or more of their multiples.  While other charities offer bereavement support, Twins Trust is the only one in the UK specifically for multiple birth families.

This charity is especially close to my heart as, in 2012, we found out our twin girls had died at the 16 week scan - they were born 2 days later.  It was a devastating time in our lives but knowing that I can now support families going through the same devastation brings some comfort to me. I will be climbing in memory of our twin girls, and for all the babies I have had the absolute honour of hearing about through Twins Trust who have sadly died.

The money raised will go to Twins Trust Bereavement Group and help fund new literature, befriender training, their yearly Memorial meet up and other 'in person' events as well help them to continue to provide much needed support to the bereaved families and friends, and health professionals who support families following the death of a twin, triplet or more.

Thank you so much for your support - it is so much appreciated!
