Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Back in the beginning of 2020, we found out we were expecting our first baby! Beyond excited for our new adventure as parents, we began the process of midwife appointments, our 12 week scan and beginning to share our news to our loved ones. The world then shut down, and everything stopped and we were left to navigate pregnancy by ourselves and share updates across FaceTime with our friends and family. April 2020 we drove to our 20 week appointment where we would be able to find out whether we were expecting a boy or a girl. An appointment I had to go into alone due to the restrictions in place. I lay on the bed, excited to see how our baby was growing and to have the gender written down so I could take it to the car to my husband so we could find out together what we were having. The ultrasound begins and those dreaded words no expecting parent wants to hear, I’m so sorry there is no heartbeat. That second in time my whole world crashed around me. Completely heartbroken, I broke down and was led to a private room where I then had to call my husband who was waiting for me in the car and tell him we had lost our baby rather than receiving this awful news together.

The next few days were the most painful days I’ve ever experienced, physically, mentally and emotionally

Our teeny, precious baby boy Arthur was born on the 30th April 2020, silent.

Oscar’s Wish Foundation provided such amazing support following Arthur’s birth. The care packages and memory boxes we were given were incredible and have also given us beautiful keepsakes we treasure every day.

Because of how wonderful Oscar’s Wish Foundation were, and continue to be, in February 2024, I began my role as a volunteer with them. I wanted to give back to the charity and be a part of the amazing team that are Oscar’s Wish Foundation, to be able to give that love and support back that I had once received.

So, here I am, taking on probably the biggest challenge I’ve ever done, the Brighton half marathon 2026! I was never a runner, in fact I disliked it immensely but this year, I pushed myself well out my comfort zone and started running. I found out I quite liked it and progressively got better.

I appreciate times are hard for everyone but if you could spare just a little amount to sponsor me I would be eternally grateful!

The money raised will go straight to Oscar’s Wish Foundation so they can continue to provide vital Resources, care, support and all the rest for those families sadly affected by baby loss.
