Story

I'm seeking your support for a cause that's close to my heart - Tommy’s. 

Myself and a group of colleagues, have signed up to run the Royal London Parks Half Marathon on behalf of Tommy's, a charity dedicated to supporting families affected by pregnancy loss. 

The event will take place on Sunday 8th October 2023.

1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage (1 in 6 if only counting women who realised/reported the miscarriage)

About 1 in 100 women in the UK experience recurrent miscarriages (3 or more in a row)

As someone who is passionate about raising awareness about the challenges of pregnancy loss I believe that research into why miscarriages happen is crucial to save lives and prevent future loss. 

Unfortunately, this area of research is often underfunded.

Many health professionals are unable to provide answers to women who have experienced miscarriages, leading to unhelpful responses like "It was not meant to be."

If you'd like to support our fundraising efforts and help us reach our goal, please donate now!

Your support is much appreciated 💜
