Story

Pregnancy loss can be a very distressing, frightening and lonely experience, and the Miscarriage Association is here to help people through.

After suffering with two miscarriages in the last two years and being supported by this fantastic charity throughout, we felt like the time was right to give back. The majority of the M.A's income comes from public donations and fundraising activities, money raised by people who have been through pregnancy loss themselves or care about someone who has, and who want to help others in a similar situation. Your sponsorship will help provide support and information to anyone who is affected by miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy. It will support our work with health professionals and researchers to improve care and information, and it will also help us raise public awareness of the facts and feelings of pregnancy loss and of the Miscarriage Association as a source of help.

To raise funds for this amazing charity, we're both running the Great North Run half marathon in September this year (2023). With very little running having since the pandemic, this will be our most challenging GNR yet!

Thank you for your support.
