Story

I'm raising money for Tommy's by completing 5km every day in October - a combination of running and walking.

When Kenny and I shared the story of our loss last year, so many people reached out to share their own experiences. Whether recent or many many years ago, the grief stays with you, even if you are fortunate enough to have a successful pregnancy at another time.

By sponsoring me you're helping fund vital research to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safe - for everyone.

- £5 could cover the cost of a week’s supply of chemicals for our researchers to investigate how plant-based treatments could be used to treat conditions such as fetal growth restriction and stillbirth

- £20 could go towards collecting and analysing samples of DNA from someone who's experienced a miscarriage. This could lead to finding the reasons why they may have lost their baby and develop new tests to find the reasons other people miscarry

- £50 could go towards paying for the supply of materials needed for our researchers exploring if targeting specific channels in blood vessels could treat blood pressure problems in pre-eclampsia and help prevent it from happening

- £150 could cover the cost of a day of our specialist Tommy's midwife on the helpline answering calls from people at higher risk of pregnancy loss or needing a reassurance call due to anxiety in pregnancy after a previous loss

Thank you in advance for anything you feel able to give.
