I have suffered the devastation both of a miscarriage and stillbirth and understand how these events can affect people for the rest of their lives. My experience changed me as a person, and it still affects me to this day. I am running in memory of my baby Matthew Bowden, who would be 31 on the 13th March 2020. 

I am proud to be joining Team Tommy's in the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2020 to support Tommy's and continue their vital work saving babies' lives. Tommy's fund research into miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth, and provide pregnancy health information to parents. They believe it is unacceptable that one in four women lose a baby during pregnancy and birth. They want every parent to have the best possible pregnancy outcomes and to take home happy, healthy babies.Please support me to take on the 13.1 miles of the London Landmarks Half Marathon. To give you an idea of the impact of your donation: £10 could buy a thermometer to help doctors at the Tommys miscarriage research centre predict ovulation. £100 could pay for a blood pressure monitor at the Tommys miscarriage research centre. £350 could fund a Tommy's midwife for a day on our pregnancy line giving specialist pregnancy advice and support.Thank you so much for your support!
