In 2019 I suffered an ectopic pregnancy. I never expected to suffer a baby loss, let alone a loss that also risked my life and led to the loss of one of my tubes, compromising my future fertility. It is an incredibly traumatic experience and it’s so important that we raise awareness and provide support for those who go through it 

I was due to run the marathon in 2020 and obviously was unable but am so excited to be finally running this year for such a wonderful charity.

I’m running for baby Eggbert who lives on in my heart and all those who also have babies in their hearts and not in their arms! 💜

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 1 in 80 pregnancies in the UK and occurs when an embryo grows outside of 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. Please support our passionate runners who will be training hard to pound the streets of London raising crucial funds and awareness for ectopic pregnancies.
