Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you might recall, I started running in November 2023 to run in the 2024 London Marathon, I ran for a cause dear to my heart, Miscarriage, the heartache it causes is something that stays with you for life, but miscarriage is only a part of the pain that not many realize or understand.

Miscarriage, still born, infant death, birth defects, trying to conceive and the pain of failure time after time is crushing, despite being such a common issue, it is very rarely spoken about or discussed and poorly funded.

After my family’s own pain and that of friends that have been through some of the problems families go through, my daughter found a group of people dedicated to helping couples, mum’s, dad’s siblings and family going through the painful times that never really go away.

Yes, that's what I thought! But take some time to check out their web page, their podcasts and some of the work they do with families, some of the stories (in fact most) are so very sad, but, there is light at the end of the tunnel for many people through support and help from this wonderful group, you might even know someone that needs help and support.

This group is not just about picking up the pieces; it is also about helping couples conceive and helping with the journey all the way through the process and the joy of childbirth for those that have been struggling for so long.

So, what am I doing.........

I plan to run every day in March 2026. To try and help TWGGE here is the schedule.

26 weekdays of 5k per day,

4 Sundays of 10k

1 Sunday half Marathon 21.1k

Totaling just over 180k

I will post my daily runs so you can see I'm not cheating! Some runs will be quick, some slow, some really slow as I will need to ensure I don't get injured, some runs will be early, some late BUT I will do what I have set out to do, I have a good support team (although most of them don't know it yet!) All I need now is your support and donations to help this fantastic group of people to help those that are not as fortunate as others.

You can also get your family names onto my running vests or perhaps add a song to my spotify playlist.
