Myself and Bill are running 10K in memory of our baby boy Rían on his due date.

I very sadly went into premature labour and on the 7th May 2024 our beautiful baby boy Rían Richard Jonathan Murtagh was born sleeping. I never thought this would happen to me because my pregnancy was going so well and I was more than half way. I have found talking openly to others has really helped me, baby loss happens to more people than you realise so lets break the stigma and talk about it! To anyone reading this who is suffering quietly please know you are not alone ❤️

We are doing this run in aid of SANDS who have been so helpful to us during the loss of Rían. We all know Bill is the runner so this is more of a challenge for me! On his due date on the 5th September we are running 10k for Rían.
