Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When I fell pregnant in 2007, I felt like shouting from the roof tops... I was so happy to have a new life grow inside me. Then one day all my hopes and dreams faded and my world came crashing down, I was having a miscarriage. Then the following year my worst nightmare came true, I had a following 3 losses. That was 5 years ago and I still think about my babys every day. I joined the Miscarriage Association group on Facebook and was amazed by how many woman who had suffered like I had. We all need support and advice from time to time, and in return gave support and advice back. I wanted to do something to thank the Association for all the help they have done by getting naked and posing in a calendar! It will be available for sale on Pregnancy & Infant Loss Day, Monday 15th October 2012.
