My Story

I started running this year (see sweaty profile pic!), so I've decided to challenge myself. On May 19th, 2024, I'll be taking on the Bristol half marathon, and raising funds for Tommy's, an incredible organisation dedicated to research and support for families affected by baby loss.

The statistics surrounding baby loss are both heart-wrenching and eye-opening. In the UK, an astounding one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death. But behind these numbers are countless mothers and families carrying the heavy burden of grief and loss, often in silence.

As a psychotherapist working in a maternal mental health service, I witness every day the profound impact baby loss has on women and their families. The emotional and psychological toll can be devastating, and the support provided by organisations like Tommy's is truly invaluable. Tommy's not only offers vital support to grieving families but also funds ground breaking research into the causes and prevention of baby loss.

By taking on this half marathon and raising funds for Tommy's, my goal is to contribute to their efforts to reduce baby loss and provide comfort and care to those who have experienced it. Your generous donations will go directly to Tommy's, enabling them to continue their crucial work.

I invite you to join me in supporting Tommy's and helping mothers and families find hope and healing after baby loss. Every pound donated makes a difference, bringing us one step closer to a world where fewer families have to endure the pain of baby loss.

Thank you for your support, and together, let's make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by baby loss.

With love and gratitude,
