We are taking part in the 60 Miles challenge but we’ll both be doing this in June so in total it’ll be 120 Miles for Tommy's because we want to help save babies' lives.
We were amazed to find out we were going to be parents to identical twins in March 2023. We fell in love with the idea of our babies and soon after found out they were going to be our boys, Louie & Rio. We readied our lives and our minds to welcome the twins and we couldn’t have been happier. We unfortunately got the heartbreaking news that one of our beautiful boys had lost his life at 22 weeks. This came with complications and confusion with our little survivor Rio, he was at high risk of being lost also but at 36 weeks he came into the world and we were elated.
From 22 weeks the fear, upset, grieving and confusion was unbearable at times and Louie of course was also born at 36 weeks, he just had his eyes closed and was already in heaven. We buried our son just 3 weeks after he was born. This was all following a previous miscarriage at 8 weeks at the end of 2022.
We want to do anything that may help towards less people having to go through this, so that more little ones make it to this world healthily and parents get the support they need! Such a worthy cause so please donate and sponsor as much as you can!
Tommy's is the UK's leading pregnancy charity funding vital medical research into miscarriage, preterm birth and stillbirth.
