Our daughter, Annie was born sleeping at 22 weeks. On 30th December, a scan revealed severe brain and heart abnormalities, with her measuring below 1%, and we were fast-tracked to the Southampton Fetal Medicine Unit the following day. It was there, on New Year’s Eve, that we learned our precious girl no longer had a heartbeat. Our world fell apart. After being so compassionately cared for by the midwives in Basingstoke, Annie was born in the Butterfly Suite at 1:17am on 3rd January 2026, following a 14-hour labour. She was deeply loved and will forever be part of our family.

On Sunday 13th September 2026, we are hosting a 5km and 10km charity run to raise money for The Forget Me Not Fund- an incredible charity that has supported us throughout the most difficult time of our lives. Please read below to learn more about the amazing work they do.
