I’m running in the Edinburgh marathon in May 2025 to raise money for Held in Our Hearts. I’m doing this because I recently found out that the charity is struggling financially for various reasons primarily due to a lack of funding.

The charity is personal to me because I received help from them in 2021 when I lost my son, Rhys.

I was given a befriender named Vikki who kept in contact with me and checked in with me every week because I was in a bad place mentally.

We even kept in contact during my pregnancy with Leo and up until his first birthday in 2023.

Baby loss can affect anyone and it can leave people traumatised. The work this charity does is incredible and I feel so strongly that they be given the chance to continue helping people across Scotland.

If you could donate even just £5 - that £5 could help fund someone receiving help like I did.
