On January 1st 2023 we were delighted to find out we were expecting a baby. Unfortunately, for us this was never meant to be as just 10 days later on Wednesday 11th January we headed to the Early Pregnancy Unit to be told our pregnancy was infact ectopic. This was our first baby, a baby we longed for after so much grief in the previous 18 months. Our first sign of light at the end of the tunnel. We are still healing and taking each day as it comes and taking part in this fundraiser to raise money for this amazing charity is a step forward in the right direction for us.

I hope we can continue to raise awareness of Ectopic Pregnancies and support The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust in the incredible work they do.

The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust strives to provide information, education and support to those affected by early pregnancy complications and to the health professionals who care for them. Ectopic pregnancy is a common, life-threatening condition that is the leading cause of maternal death in the first trimester of early pregnancy, The condition affects around 1 in 80 pregnancies in the UK and occurs when an embryo grows outside the womb. The EPT believes that the deaths and trauma associated with ectopic pregnancy should be prevented. We seek to relieve the distress associated with the experience and provide ongoing support through their treatment and beyond.

Please support our enthusiastic 80in1 challengers who will be working hard through the month to cover their distance and will be raising crucial funds and awareness for ectopic pregnancies.
