Growing up I was aware of the word miscarriage and what it meant technically, but I never thought I would live that nightmare; Let alone twice. The technical meaning of miscarriage doesn’t compare to the lived experience, and it isn’t one I’d wish on anyone.

I was morbidly fortunate to have multiple friends who had also had miscarriages so I was supported in my grief by people who understood what I was going through. I have since done what I can to be open about my experience of miscarriage so I can be a friend to others going through heartache.

During our walk, we’ll be remembering all the tiny lives lost to miscarriage, ectopic and molar pregnancy through our new Memory Walk event.

Taking place on Sunday 15th October – the culmination of Baby Loss Awareness Week – we’re encouraging people to walk 4 miles at 4pm, reflecting the 1 in 4 pregnancies that is estimated to end in miscarriage.

We are hoping that supporters all over the UK will join us and hundreds of other people as they set off on their own local four mile memory walks to remember those little lives lost, raise awareness of the issues surrounding baby loss, and to signpost people to our services.
