Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am doing this because, as some of you may know, Holly and myself unfortunately lost a baby through an ectopic pregnancy.

Prior to this, I will be honest and say I had know idea about this sort of pregnancy. It is horrible and can be life threatening to the mother and I want to support a cause to inform and help others who have been, are and may end up dealing with this at some point in their life.

Please help me raise money for the trust and hopefully it will help others as I know first hand how harsh and difficult this can be for both the mother and father.

We have been lucky and gone on to have a fabulous little boy but we won't ever forget the little one we lost as a result of an Ectopic Pregnancy.
