Story
As some of you know but many of you won't, I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy at the beginning of March. (this is a pregnancy that has implanted outside the womb)
It was initially treated medically with methotrexate but unfortunately that did not work and I had to have keyhole surgery to remove my left tube and the pregnancy that was inside it.
We then as a country, went into lockdown.
I found myself stuck at home recovering after my surgery, looking after our toddler and cut off from the physical support of friends and family, while as a country we battled Covid.
The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust were absolutely invaluable during this time, at the end of the phone whenever I needed the support and allowed me to process my emotions and grief separately to what was going on in the outside world with Covid.
I am now 20 weeks on from my operation and I want to give something back.
So....
For the month of August I will be walking (possibly running!) 80 miles in 1 month to raise money for the Ectopic pregnancy trust.
This is roughly 2.6 miles a day, easy! 😂
I would be really grateful for any support with donations to my justgiving page.
The EPT rely on the support of volunteers and donations and it is crucial they continue doing their invaluable work, especially at times like this.
Thanks so much for reading this far, please get in touch if you want to join me for a socially distanced walk or run during August - would love to catch up with some of you in person!
Love, Selina x
