Hello All,

One of my university friends and work colleagues suffered a life changing event in 2021 when his partner died unexpectedly of an ectopic pregnancy. My fiance Emma and I am running to support him and his partners family.

Since she died, he has continued to support me in life and told me to ensure that I do everything with my partner that he did not get to experience with her. 

I want to raise as much money as possible to raise awareness of ectopic pregnancy and how life changing it can be.

What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is a common, occasionally life-threatening condition that affects around 1 in 80 pregnancies. Put very simply, it means “an out-of-place pregnancy”.

What happens if you have an ectopic pregnancy?

With an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilised egg becomes caught or delayed while progressing along the Fallopian tube. In this case, the pregnancy continues to grow inside the Fallopian tube where it can cause the Fallopian tube to burst or severely damage it. This can sometimes cause internal bleeding causing pain and requiring immediate medical attention.
