Our little raspberry

A few weeks ago, my partner Jason and I experienced a miscarriage.

It’s something that so many people go through, yet it’s still rarely talked about. In a very short space of time, we went from imagining a future with a new little life in it, to suddenly having to process loss and grief together.

There isn’t really a “right” way to deal with something like this. For me, one thing that I feel may help is running.

This April, I’ll be running 30 kilometres in support of Sands, the charity that supports anyone affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby. Their work helps families who are navigating heartbreak, offering support, resources, and a community when it’s needed most.

I will be honest completing this challenge won’t be easy, especially the emotional aspect, but it’s something I feel incredibly determined to do. Each kilometre feels like a small step forward and a way to honour the little life that Jason and I lost. Our little raspberry. 

If you’re able to support this challenge, I would be hugely grateful. Any donation, big or small, will go towards helping Sands continue the vital support they provide to families during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Jason and me over the past few weeks — it truly means more than you know.

If you’re able to donate, share this post, or simply help raise awareness about pregnancy loss, it would mean the world to us.

Thank you for reading and for your support.
