I’m running a marathon in support of Tommy’s to help families facing pregnancy loss, premature birth, and serious pregnancy complications.

Tommy’s funds life-saving research and provides compassionate support during the most painful moments imaginable.

Running 26.2 miles will be one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it’s nothing compared to the strength shown by parents navigating pregnancy loss or pregnancy after loss. Each mile I run is for the babies lost, the families grieving, and the hope that fewer families will have to endure this pain in the future.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, you’ll be helping Tommy’s continue their vital work — saving babies’ lives and supporting families when they need it most. Thank you for your kindness and support.

Olly’s Story, the organiser of Marathons for Miracles:

As my wife and I embarked on our pregnancy journey in 2022, we were blissfully unaware of the very real possibility of miscarriage. Until, in late August, the unthinkable happened. Since then, we have seen and heard of those who have had similar, devastating experiences.

This is an issue which is so common, and yet so rarely spoken about... until it's too late.

So, I plan to talk about it. I will be running 39 marathons over 39 consecutive weeks, throughout 2026. I will run in each of the 39 historic counties of England, joined each week be a member of the Marathons for Miracles team. This is made up of 39 inspiring families who are motivated by their own experiences to run for this great cause.

Alongside the running, we will be sharing the stories of the people who join us, raising awareness and lifting the taboo around all things miscarriage, baby loss and infertility.

We will be updating here as we go, with details on our runners and routes and links to our podcasts. If you would like to donate, support or get involved, please get in touch!
