Victoria's fundraiser for Miscarriage Counselling

Victoria Hepworth is raising money for Pregnancy Options Centre

Swim 10K in 1 month

Options provides free, non-directive support to anyone facing unplanned pregnancy or struggling following a pregnancy loss or an abortion. We also deliver educational sessions to young people on topics surrounding healthy sex and relationships, giving them the tools to make well-timed decisions.

Story

As some of you may know, Dave and I suffered two miscarriages in 2023 which were completley devastating.

Although all the staff at the hospital and GP surgeries were absolutely amazing and couldn't have been kinder, there was a void afterwards, as life inevitably resumed and we just had to get on with it.

It wasn't until nearly a year afterwards that we realised just how much we were still struggling and started to actively search out some sort of support.

That's when I found the most amazing local charity, who offer counselling services for pregnancy loss amongst other vital services.

They worked really hard to see us both, independently and quickly, to give us the much needed support we were missing and to help us sort through what had happened and move forward.

I couldn't believe that they were right there and we didn't know about them - I wished I'd known sooner.

That's why I'm doing this fundraiser - to give back to this most amazing service so that others in the same situation can get the help and support that they need - and to raise awareness that these guys are out there.

I'll be swimming 10K over the next month for them, for us, for the babies we lost and for everyone out there suffering through loss and fertility issues.

Dave and I would be so grateful if you could donate something to this vital service and absolutley amazing people.

Thank you xx
