Story

I’m fundraising for Tommy’s who exist to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and to make pregnancy and birth safer - for everyone. Tommy's is dedicated to finding causes and treatments as well as providing trusted pregnancy and baby loss information and support.

Your donation will help find answers, cures, and make breakthroughs happen. Each donation will help take a step closer to saving babies' lives.

Most women blame themselves when they have a miscarriage and I include myself in the blame game. When you experience the loss of a child through miscarriage, you have this sense that you don't deserve sympathy because you go down into a dark place thinking it must have been something I did or didn’t do, and for that reason, you choose not to talk about it.

I want to honour and thank the Duchess of Sussex for bravely talking about her miscarriage enabling other mothers to stop the self-blame and talk about their loss. When the Duchess of Sussex famously said in a piece for the New York Times, "I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second." That brought back my painful loss back in 2005.
