As many of you know, I am currently on maternity leave from my role as a Screening and Fetal Medicine Midwife. While I am not providing care to families at this moment, I want to make the most of my time by walking for a cause that is close to my heart. This March, I will be participating in the "Antenatal Results and Choices Miles In March" challenge, where I aim to walk 100 miles in 31 days to raise funds for ARC (Antenatal Results and Choices).

ARC is a charity that offers invaluable support, knowledge, and a listening ear to families facing difficult news during pregnancy. Even though I am not physically working right now, I feel compelled to help ensure that ARC can continue its vital services for those who need it most. Every year, over 20,000 pregnant parents receive news that their baby may not be developing as expected. ARC stands out as the only UK charity providing independent information and emotional support through antenatal testing and its consequences.

I kindly ask for your generous support in helping me reach my target of £200 (£2 per mile)!

My Miles in March campaign for ARC is simple:

- I have chosen to walk 100 miles in March (31 days)

- I ask generous friends and family donors to help me reach my target!

- ARC uses these donations to deliver its support services for vulnerable or grieving parents coping with unexpected results during pregnancy

Completing these miles will raise money and awareness for ARC’s vital service. Every year over 20,000 pregnant parents will get the news that their baby may not be developing as expected. ARC (Antenatal Results and Choices) has a unique remit – it is the only UK charity providing independent information and emotional support through antenatal testing and its consequences.

ARC is here for everyone – to share knowledge with parents if they receive an unexpected or devastating scan result, or impartially support families to make their own decisions about what to do next.

Thank you for supporting my Miles in March challenge!
