On 8 May 2017, after a perfect pregnancy, our sister-in-law Georgia gave birth to a daughter called Beatrice Emilia. A few hours later, at 1.22am on 9 May Beatrice passed away. To pay tribute to our beautiful niece and to treasure her memory we are raising money for Tommy's, the baby charity, by running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in March.

Tommy's funds and undertakes groundbreaking research into miscarriage, still-birth and neonatal death. Their work in the last 25 years has already helped lower the number of miscarriages in the UK but more needs to be done. Around 25% of pregnancies in the UK end in premature death. Tommy's work can help to ensure that fewer families have to suffer the ultimate pain and loss that ours did.

Thank you for donating. Dom and Georgia have led the way for our family in supporting Tommy's and are truly inspirational in their commitment to furthering research, hopefully meaning that other parents don't have to go through what they went through and other children will be able to live long and healthy lives. In this way, Bea's memory can be treasured by millions of families for years to come.
