Story

๐— ๐˜† ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜†

After 10 years of infertility, six failed cycles of IVF with no answers and a natural pregnancy that ended in miscarriage, I thought I'd known heartbreak.

Then our last IVF cycle finally made our dreams come true. But our world was completely shattered when we were told her heartbeat had stopped. Harley was too special for this earth ๐Ÿ’”

In the darkest days that followed, Chasing Rainbows were there for me. They gave me a place to grieve, to be heard and to start finding a way forward. I want to do something now to show how much that meant.

I'm taking on a 240km dog sled across Sweden for 8 days, starting 26th March 2027. Pulling into camp each night to pitch my own tent, cook for myself and care for the huskies who'll be my closest companions along the way.

I've recently been diagnosed with OCD and, anyone that knows me will know, I genuinely hate being cold! And camping! This is not something I would ever choose to do for fun. That's exactly why I'm doing it ๐Ÿ’ช

Every frozen mile, every cold night in a tent, every moment I want to stop, I'll be thinking of Harley.
