Story
On the 19th October 2025, I am running to raise money for The Worst Girl Gang Ever (TWGGE) Foundation - an organisation that aims to bring people together to share, heal, and support each other through miscarriage, baby loss, and infertility.
We have found the support their platform provides to be invaluable over the past few years as Imy and I have navigated our own personal journey of subfertility, numerous failed fertility treatments and unexplained recurrent miscarriage.
I am also running to honour and remember our five babies lost from three consecutive 'missed miscarriages' - miscarriages diagnosed at a routine scan, rather than occurring spontaneously at home, and, in my case, also requiring surgical intervention to end the pregnancies.
Hearing the words 'I am so sorry, there is no heartbeat' was devastating each and every time. In my most recent pregnancy, going from a single embryo transfer to triplets, only to lose them all one by one over a period of several weeks, was especially hard to come to terms with.
TWGGE's tagline is 'you are not alone'. I am also taking part in this run to also raise awareness of this foundation and miscarriage in general as I felt totally at a loss when experiencing my first miscarriage, and did not know where to turn for either practical or emotional support.
Hearing other people's stories and connecting with others who have walked this difficult journey was a real lifeline and I am really grateful to be part of this incredibly supportive and empathetic community.
