Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 9th September I will be taking part in my first and largest half marathon in the world. Not quite a fully fledged midlife crisis but the culmination of a lot of hard work that has seen me lose nearly four stone in the last six months.

I will be running for a charity that is very close to my heart. Our daughter was stillborn at full term in the early hours of Friday 20th June 2014. Our world changed forever.

I am running for MAMA Academy who have been helping to save babies lives since 2012, by helping to empower parents, educate healthcare professionals and generally raise awareness of the issues around stillbirth and early infant mortality.

They support healthcare professionals with vital training and resources to aid consistent maternity care across the country; improving outcomes for families and their precious babies. Please visit their website for more information.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for your support!
