I'm supporting Tommy's to save babies' lives. Having got married in May this year we were SO excited to start our family. We were thrilled to find out in August that we were expecting our first baby. However I learnt that two pink lines does not always equal a baby, not earth side at least. 

On 8th October, when I was 11 weeks pregnant, we learnt our baby was dead. A missed miscarriage at 6 weeks. It happens, you just never think it will happen to you. You don't 'just' lose a baby. You lose the future you had imagined from the second you knew you were expecting, you lose the trust in your body and you lose the dream you've had, lets face it most of your life.

Running for me helps my mental health and right now I need that! So I thought why not combine that with a fundraising effort for a fantastic cause?!

1 in 4 parents lose a baby during pregnancy and birth. Tommys thinks that is unacceptable. Their mission is to stop miscarriage, preterm birth and stillbirth, by funding pioneering research and providing vital health information. Tommys believes that every baby lost is one too many. They exist to support, care for and champion people, no matter where they may be on their pregnancy journey. 

Please give as generously as you can and together we can help make sure as few families as possible have to endure, what currently so many, this heartbreak.
