Story
2021 was the best and worst year of our lives - we found out we were pregnant and hoped to welcome our twin girls into the world, but due to Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), that would never become a reality. Our babies died at 21 weeks because of TTTS. So although what happened to us wasn't technically 'Miscarriage', we know and feel the pain of baby loss, just as many families do. We were able to access emergency surgery to try and help, but many are not able to, so please join us as we try to get 500000 steps throughout January, and raise money for the MA so they can help others.
thank you

"The Miscarriage Association are challenging their supporters to complete 250,000 steps throughout January - the same number of steps as the number of pregnancies that are estimated to end in miscarriage in the UK each year. Miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy can be distressing at any time, but the recent pandemic has made it especially difficult for many, with limited access to some services and partners often being unable to attend for scans. Feelings of isolation and loneliness have understandably been magnified by not being able to see family and friends. Throughout the pandemic the M.A has supported thousands of people through their helpline, live chat, and online support services. The majority of their income comes from public donations and fundraising activities, and they receive no statutory funding. Can you help to raise funds to help support the M.A by sponsoring me as I complete this 250,000 step challenge this January? Thank you for your support!"
