Thanks for taking the time to visit my London Marathon JustGiving page. I'm really excited to be over half way through training for the race and even more so to be raising money for the Miscarriage Association. 

Miscarriage or the loss of a baby is perhaps not a cause you would think is that important unless you'd been through it or seen others close to you go through it. One in four women will experience miscarriage at some point in their lives - that's a lot of women! But still this is a subject that makes people feel awkward and is not talked about it. It can have a devastating impact on people's lives - both men and women - and often people don't know where to turn to for information, advice and support. 

Thankfully the Miscarriage Association provides lot of factual information about practical steps to take as well as providing emotional support through local support groups, helplines and online groups. I really want to raise awareness of this issue as well as raise some money for a charity that really does help people at a low point in their lives. It will make running London Marathon a particularly special experience for me. Every donation will make a difference, no matter how big or small.
