Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is a story that I don't share often but I am now ready to share...

In April 2022, I had a miscarriage. I didn't know that I was pregnant, nor was I trying so not only was the preganancy a shock but the fact that I had lost the baby was an even bigger shock.

At the time, it was something that I just pushed aside and didn't fully acknowledge as it was a lot to process. It was only later that it really hit me that I was supposed to be a mum and it was taken away from me.

I didn't tell anyone at the time, not even my closest family and friends. I felt embarrassed and ashamed to talk about it because I felt like it was my fault. I was questioning what I had done for this to happen and that is why I kept it to myself.

The bereavement of this loss is something that I still struggle this to this day. I still struggle to come to terms with it and it is a loss that will always hit me hard.

February is when I was due the baby and this year, my baby would have been 1.

So, to help myself mentally and to give back, I will be walking/running 200km between February 5th-March 5th to raise money for The Miscarriage Association.

Any support would be greatly appreciated....Thank you!
