This is something that is very close to my heart as not many people know but my beautiful daughter is my rainbow baby. We unfortunately lost our baby before we had our little Maeve. We call them raspberry as that is the size they were when unfortunately their heart stopped beating. Although I have my gorgeous daughter now, this has still affected me more than I ever realised it would in so many ways.

Pregnancy and parenting after loss are incredibly tender and emotionally complex experiences - often filled with anxiety, guilt, hope, and heartache. But with the right support, community and compassion, these journeys don’t have to be faced alone.

This August, I’ll be taking on the 40k Challenge in honour of Rainbow Baby Day (22nd August) to raise funds for The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.

We’re raising money to create and expand specialist support for those who are pregnant or parenting after loss, because:

The fear of loss can overshadow every scan, every kick, every milestone.

Many parents feel isolated, unheard or disconnected during subsequent pregnancies — and that often continues into the early days of parenting

There’s still a huge lack of tailored support for navigating this emotional rollercoaster

TWGGEF are developing targeted resources, safe spaces, and compassionate emotional care for families during this deeply vulnerable time.
