As some of you may know, we have lost 6 of our very much wished for and treasured babies, which has completely redefined our lives and taught us to live with a grief that no one should have to endure. We have also had 5 rounds of unsuccessful IVF and spent close to 4 years Trying to Conceive.

I'm joining an amazing community of supporters taking part in the Tommy's 5km a day in October challenge.

Tommy's, the pregnancy and birth charity, are the leading pregnancy research charity in the UK.

By sponsoring me you're helping fund vital research to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safe - for everyone.

💕 Your £5 could cover the cost of a week’s supply of chemicals for our researchers to investigate how plant-based treatments that could be used to treat conditions such as fetal growth restriction and stillbirth.

💕 Your £10 could provide protein inhibitors for our research into ways to treat placenta inflammation that can lead to fetal growth restriction and stillbirth.

💕 Your £20 could go towards collecting and analysing samples of DNA from someone who's experienced a miscarriage. This could lead to finding the reasons why they may have lost their baby and develop new tests to find the reasons other people miscarry.

💕 Your £50 could go towards paying for the supply of materials needed for our researchers exploring if targeting specific channels in blood vessels could treat blood pressure problems in pre-eclampsia and help prevent it from happening.

💕 Your £150 could cover the cost of a day of our specialist Tommy's midwife on the helpline answering calls from women and birthing people at higher risk of pregnancy loss or needing a reassurance call due to anxiety in pregnancy after a previous loss.

Thank you - together we can save babies' lives.
