Story
My mum (Rosy), husband (Robin) and I are raising money for Tommy's - a charity that is extremely close to our hearts. As some of you will know, in 2025, I had 2 complicated 'missed miscarriages' both resulting in 'empty sacs' seen on ultrasound at 12 weeks and 9 weeks. I had little to no pregnancy symptoms, and was surrounded by constant reassurance that everything would be okay, but I felt sure that something was wrong. I had to undergo surgery (first time emergency) to end the pregnancies as my pregnancy hormones were still so high, and they were not ending spontaneously.
Tommy's and the Marathons for Miracles team have been an incredible support in the time that has followed. For information, for courage to speak out, and for general camaraderie.
Olly Brown (a stranger to me a few months ago, and now an unsung hero) is taking on 39 marathons in 39 weeks! To represent that not everyone gets to 40 weeks. These are taking part in each of the historic English Counties, and every week he shares it with someone affected by pregnancy/baby loss. My mum, husband and I are joining him on his 33rd - Suffolk - on 8th August 2026.
As my current pregnancy continues encouragingly, I will be unable to run the marathon, but my mum is determined to run as her first marathon ever (aged 64)!! Olly, Robin and my mum are true heroes and it would mean the world to me if you also support the cause.
If you would like to come and cheer, please reach out! We currently have a team of 5 runners of family and friends, and are on the hunt to expand this. Be that 5k,10k, half or full, we'd love if you could join and support for some. The cheer squad will provide support and snacks along the way!
Thank you!!
