For most parents being pregnant is usually a very exciting moment and having a baby is a blessing. What about those parents who either lose a baby, as 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss, or those who have a premature baby?

Having many close friends being impacted by either of these two, I have decided to participate in the run to raise awareness that having a baby is a life-changer, having a premature baby is a miracle but there are no words that can describe the feelings after losing a baby. 

Although I am not a runner, I believe that doing hard things make you stronger and I am taking part in my first half marathon ever!

Thank you for embarking on this journey with me and contributing to Tommy's, the baby charity and the largest charity in the UK carrying out research into the causes of miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.
