Story

My self (Jack) and my brother in law (Mark) are running London Landmark Half Marathon on Sunday April 2nd in memory of my Daughter  (Marks Niece) Penelope Travers - Born Sleeping 8/12/2021 👼🏻 ⭐️ 🕊️ ❤️ 

We will be running and raising money for a charity extremely close to our hearts  - Aching Arms. The heartache that comes with losing your baby is indescribable, but amongst the pain, Aching Arms were able to provide us with help, support and comfort with a beautiful comfort bear, to fill your arms as you grieve. Each Aching Arms bear is given as a gift from one bereaved parent to another, to let you know that you are not alone. 🧸💚

For this very reason, we would like to give something back to an amazing charity, in memory of Penelope all of the beautiful babies born sleeping, and hopefully provide bears for other bereaved parents. 

Bring on 2nd of April 💪 🏃‍♂️ 🏙️
