I will be running the Edinburgh 10k at the Edinburgh Marathon Festival in May to fundraise for Tommy's, who provide expert advice and fund pioneering research to prevent stillbirth, miscarriage, and premature birth.

Tommy's is a charity that has become very close to me in the last 6 months after we experienced a miscarriage last October. I was completely unaware of how common miscarriages were until we experienced this loss - an estimated 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and about 1 in 100 women experience recurrent miscarriages. Based on these statistics, we all know someone affected by this type of grief.

I have so much empathy for anyone who has experienced pregnancy or baby loss, and the heartbreak that comes with it, and I am thankful for the vital research Tommy's funds to help prevent the devastation of pregnancy and baby loss. 

The support and advice Tommy's provided during this time, as well as the love from Harry, our family and friends, helped in ways I will be forever grateful for. I want to support Tommy's in a fraction of the way they support others, so any donation you can give to my fundraiser means the absolute world to me, and if anyone wants to chat or needs an understanding ear, please reach out.
