Hello! Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

As many of you will know, we lost our baby boy, Noah 20-02-2023 and almost lost my own life in the process. Losing Noah was incredibly difficult for us, and big brother Arlo too. It completely changed our life as we knew it.

Unfortunately the last 3 years have been really challenging to say the least, with a further 4 losses following and adding to our already grief ridden hearts.

Needless to say, we haven’t spent much of the last few years doing the things we love as it completely takes over every aspect of your life, making it incredibly difficult to plan ahead.

With this said we want this year to be focused on getting back to doing those things we love more often - one of them being running.

So… I have foolishly signed Scott and myself up for a 50km ultra running challenge in June! The distance won’t be so much of challenge for Scott who has spent most of his adult life running silly distances, but he will be challenged to slow his pace riiiight down to support me (and listen to me for however many hours it takes!)

Of course we couldn’t take on such a challenge without using it as an opportunity to fundraise for a wonderful charity so close to our hearts - Friends of Serenity. The work they do to support bereaved families through baby loss is amazing. From memory boxes, which are often all the family is left with to remember their baby - to erecting the amazing Tree of Life at Lancashire Women’s and newborn centre to remember all the babies gone too soon and many other things in between. Please take a look at the amazing work they do.

As painful as this challenge and all the training will be, nothing will ever compare to the pain of losing a child.

Thank you for reading!
