In April 2026, I will be taking on the huge challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for a special cause. Thank you so much in advance for donating whatever you can, it really will make a massive difference.

Back in 2019 we decided that we wanted to start a family. We found out that in June 2019 we was pregnant with Twins! Both my husband and I was over the moon we was so excited we told our family. Everything was going well until it all came crashing down and our life turned upside down. We found out that there hearts had stopped beating and the worst was yet to come. Although we had the support from family & close friends, it took me a while to open up and talk about it. I felt so embarrassed that it happened to me. Thinking what did I do wrong & took the blame and got myself into a very low place, as this affects you both mentally and physically. All we had left now was a scan photo of our babies. After a few months past, my body/minds was in a good place. We decided to try again. I fell pregnant straight away and within a day of finding out I was pregnant the signs and symptoms where there again & I had miscarriaged again. Then when twice was bad enough we then went through it a couple of months after a third time. It never gets easier you just get stronger. You learn how to cope with the situation & by talking to those around you. Talking, led me to go to Simply Fertility. They done all the tests to find out if there was a problem & what to do to help. Pregnancy is a difficult rollercoaster from start to finish and if I can help at least one woman reading this to open up and talk about their story of miscarriages, still birth etc, l've done my bit. This shouldn't be something that we keep quite and feel embarrassed about. I still remember the comments I got back then just after I had the miscarriages "isn't it about time you had a baby""you pregnant yet" "your clearly not maternal if you don't want to hold the baby" "When's it your turn" All these comments but yet I couldn't bring myself round to say what actually happened. This made me feel so small inside, crying myself to sleep & thinking l'm a woman but yet I'm struggling. But after opening up and talking i was in a completely different mind set. I will never forget them all and they will always be in our thoughts and hearts. They brought us so much happiness for a short amount of time. But now after having in total 5 miscarriages, 6 babies, we now have two beautiful boys aged 4 and 2 and they are our whole world. Love you too the moon and stars.
