Story
Fundraising for Tommy’s, the pregnancy and baby charity, is a cause close to my heart. Their mission to stop the heartbreak of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safer for everyone resonates deeply with me.
After discovering we were pregnant the day before my 31st birthday, the joy was soon overshadowed by challenges. An early scan revealed a subchorionic haematoma and following a hospital visit for an elevated heart rate, I went on to miscarry. It was later discovered that I have hyperthyroidism, which can impact pregnancy. Despite the miscarriage and diagnosis, I embarked on a thyroid healing journey (which is still ongoing) and found solace in running and prioritising my wellbeing.
Now, as I prepare to run the Hackney Half Marathon 2025 for Tommy’s, I am filled with hope and determination. Your support will contribute to finding answers, cures, and breakthroughs that can save babies' lives.
Together, we can take meaningful steps towards a brighter future. Thank you for being part of this journey.
