The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust strives to provide information, education and support to those affected by early pregnancy complications and to the health professionals who care for them. Ectopic pregnancy is a common, life-threatening condition that is the leading cause of maternal death in the first trimester of early pregnancy, The condition affects around 1 in 80 pregnancies in the UK and occurs when an embryo grows outside the womb. The EPT believes that the deaths and trauma associated with ectopic pregnancy should be prevented. We seek to relieve the distress associated with the experience and provide ongoing support through their treatment and beyond.

The information and stories shared on the Ectopic Pregnancy Trust website and instagram page have been a real lifeline at what turned out yo be the most challenging time Atli and I faced. We have decided to sign up for this 5K challenge together and will walk in support of this charity to help raise awareness about ectopic pregnancies. We hope it will  allow others to access vital resources at the most distressing and devastating time, and is our way to show our gratitude to the staff and volunteers helping those going through it. We will do our walk on 7 April which will mark our 4 year anniversary and seems a perfect time to reflect on what we’ve been through and our hopes and dreams for the future.

We thank you in advance for any contribution you maybe be able to make towards this cause.
