I will be walking the 50k London Royal Parks challenge in memory of my twin boys Charlie & Joshua who died 24 years ago. Charlie lived for 7 days & Joshua, 13 days.

They would have been 25 years old, four weeks after the walk, on 13th September.

I will be thinking of them throughout the walk as I complete the challenge, sharing their names and talking about them. At the same time 25 years ago I was 22 weeks pregnant and everything was going well…

I’ll be doing my furthest distance ever - 25k for Charlie and 25k for Joshua totalling 50k!

I am raising money for Footprints as I know from first hand experience how important the type of support that they offer can be. My befriender was my lifeline in the early days and I find the twin and triplet loss community incredibly helpful even now.

Please donate any amount that you can as the charity is reliant on donations to deliver the bereavement services and provide ongoing support to families who have experienced twin or triplet loss, at any stage of their grief journey.

Your donations will help Footprints in many ways including: providing befriending, online support groups and an online community Facebook group.

Our charity will have been running for 8 months by the time we participate in the challenge. It’s been such a whirlwind but so amazing to have something so good come out of something so tragic.

Thank you so much for supporting Footprints Baby Loss charity and helping families like mine.
