Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2017, when pregnant with my first child, I was diagnosed with pre eclampsia. This became so severe a threat to the health of my unborn child as well as myself that I ended up having an emergency c section at 33 weeks. Luckily my baby was well enough that she was able to thrive in SCBU with minimal support.
Unfortunately I ended up having a stay in intensive care. I will spare you the details but suffice to say it was the most terrifying experience of my life. There was a time that I thought the first day of my beautiful daughter’s life would be my last.
Happily I can say that with the help of education, modern medicine and research I recovered and we have gone on to have another baby, which was a completely different experience.

I want to make my experience of pre eclampsia as positive as possible and I want to raise money to raise awareness of the condition around the world. Pregnancy childbirth are still a leading cause of death in women around the world and this brilliant charity help education world wide to prevent illness/death.

Any donations are greatly appreciated and will help motivate me to put on my trainers on the cold, dark days when training and get me to the London marathon finish line in October.

Love,

Charlotte
