This time three years ago I was told that I was in a high risk pregnancy and had to have an emergency stitch and 17 weeks of bed rest to ensure our little boy arrived safe and sound. We were hours away from losing him when I was operated on, he is our little miracle.

Now our miracle boy is taking part in the Water Babies Splashathon and raising money for Tommys, a charity that does research into miscarriages, still births and neonatal care.

On the 24th July Alex will be diving into a swimming pool and fishing out treasure from the bottom of the pool - quite a mean feat for a two year old! Please sponsor him, it's a cause that's very close ot our hearts.
