After having a miscarriage some years ago, The Miscarriage Association were an absolute lifeline for me. I turned to them with my questions, worries and fears, and they provided so many answers and so much support. I've directed so many people to them since and I know they've made a similar difference to many other lives: they've made a frightening, isolating experience feel shared and understood.

It's also January and I'm determined to make something positive out of a dreary month. 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. Getting active in a way that I know from personal experience will really, really help others seemed a great thing to do.

I'd love you to sponsor me. Thank you! xx

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. Thank you for your support.
