Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the last year, I have suffered 3 miscarriages most recently being the beginning of this month (May 2023) . Words can not describe the physical and mental pain I've endured during and after my miscarriages. As soon as you see the test say positive, the excitement takes over, and you plan a whole new life for you, your partner, and your baby.

But, what I didn't know was that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Something they don't teach you in school. Each miscarriage is battering down your hope of having a healthy pregnancy. There are no words to describe the feelings when you lose the life you'd planned for your baby. Other than the physical pain, one of the hardest parts for me was suddenly losing myself. Although millions of couples experience this trauma, my god it is a lonely, painful, and tiring place to be.

I am incredibly lucky to have the support I do from Josh, family & friends. I want to do this challenge to raise awareness of miscarriages and to get other women & men talking.

It's 40 years of the Miscarriage Association being opened and the 4th year of this challenge. To represent 1 in 4, I will be swimming 4k a week for the whole of June. If you want to support and donate, any amount is greatly appreciated.
