Story
I'll be joining Olly Brown for the Buckinghamshire leg of his incredible Marathons for Miracles challenge, where he is running 39 marathons in 39 weeks across England to raise money for Tommy's, the UK's leading pregnancy charity, while raising awareness of pregnancy and baby loss.
This cause is very close to my heart following my own experience of miscarriage, and I'm proud to be running alongside Olly to help support other families and fund Tommy's vital research.
The marathon will start in Chesham Bois on the morning of Saturday 22 August and finish at The Royal Standard of England pub in Forty Green, Beaconsfield.

Olly's story:
As my wife and I embarked on our pregnancy journey in 2022, we were blissfully unaware of the very real possibility of miscarriage. Until, in late August, the unthinkable happened. Since then, we have seen and heard of those who have had similar, devastating experiences.
This is an issue which is so common, and yet so rarely spoken about... until it's too late.
So, I plan to do something about it. I will be running 39 marathons over 39 consecutive weeks, throughout 2026. I will run in each of the 39 historic counties of England, joined each week be a member of the Marathons for Miracles team. This is made up of 39 inspiring families who are motivated by their own experiences to run for this great cause.
Alongside the running, we will be sharing the stories of the people who join us, raising awareness and lifting the taboo around all things miscarriage, baby loss and infertility.
We will be updating here as we go, with details on our runners and routes and links to our podcasts. If you would like to donate, support or get involved, please get in touch!
