I’m taking part in the Rainbow Race this September. I am raising funds for the amazing team at the Tommy’s Manchester Rainbow Clinic, who work tirelessly to save babies' lives.

In October 2022 we lost our precious little boy Luca when I was 21 weeks pregnant. I was supported by the Rainbow Clinic during my next pregnancy, and I can honestly say, I would not have got through it without them. They fully understand the extreme anxiety that comes with pregnancy after loss, and will do everything they can to make things just that little bit easier. I was invited for fortnightly scans with the fantastic Doctor Mollie, who always put me at ease and made us laugh. We were also cared for by Tommys midwife Emilie, who provided lots of reassurance, and she created the most detailed and supportive birth plan, which of course, did not go to plan! They also provided my partner with lots of reassurance and support, something which is often overlooked.

The whole team are incredible, and we will never be able to thank them enough for getting our little miracle, Matilda Hope, here safe and well.
