On the 1st March 2024 mine and Claires world was turned upside down. At a time that should have been filled with excitement and planning for our new little arrival, we experienced heart break and huge sadness of losing our baby at 11 weeks.

The following days and weeks were filled with grief, sorrow and helplessness. It is difficult to put in to words exactly how we felt as the loss felt like a statistic and all too often people would remind us of that.

Little one, you left footprints on our hearts that time will never fade x

I am running in the 2026 London Marathon for the Miscarriage Association!

The M.A is a national charity that offers support and information to anyone who is affected by miscarriage or ectopic or molar pregnancy. They work with health professionals to encourage good care; with workplaces to promote compassionate policies and with the media to raise public awareness of the facts and feelings of pregnancy loss.

The 2026 team of London Marathon runners help with all of this and more. Their fundraising helps pay for the staffed helpline and the production of high-quality information online and in print. And every time they mention the M.A. they raise awareness of how they can help.

Thank you for your support.
