As many of you know, the road to our gorgeous baby boy, Dillon, was paved with heartbreak.

In August 2022, we heard the devastating phrase, “I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat.” For the first time. Our world came crashing down with just one sentence. I read everything there was about silent or missed miscarriages. We never in a million years thought it would happen twice.

Then, in March 2023, I decided to take on the 5k steps a day challenge for Tommy’s as we were pregnant with, what we thought, was our rainbow. On the last day of the challenge, another piece of my heart was taken. Another silent miscarriage. Another scan excited to see our baby only to leave broken in a million pieces.

I did so much research then and used every tool on the Tommy’s website to see if there would be any chance we could have another baby.

Lucky for us, the consultant and nurses we dealt with refer to the recurrent miscarriage clinic after two losses, as per Tommy’s suggestion.

My appointment for the recurrent miscarriage clinic came through the day of my 12 week scan with Dillon. My heart was in my mouth, I felt sick and most of all, petrified that it may have happened again. We were lucky this time and I’m so grateful to have my precious rainbow boy.

Dillon is because of our angels. I remember them every day and am so blessed to have my boy. A genuine dream come true.

I am taking part in the 60 Miles in June Challenge for Tommy's because I want to help save babies' lives. I don’t want anyone else to go through what I did. I know I’m truly one of the lucky ones, as others still wish for their rainbow.

Tommy's is the UK's leading pregnancy charity funding vital medical research into miscarriage, preterm birth and stillbirth.

Please sponsor me and you too can help end the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss.

Thank you.
