I’m jogging 31 miles in May to remember our baby

Me and my beautiful partner Jess are signing up to run 31 miles in May. In April this year we sadly lost our baby. We have committed  to the run to  support us and any other families going through what we are going through. 

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you ❤️

Our IVF miracle baby.

Thursday 24th Apr
In September 2024 we started IVF treatment. After a few months of constant appointments and medication , it felt like forever but our baby was  finally transferred and after a few  impatient days we done a test and was overwhelmed with happiness to see a positive result. 

As a family we all were so excited and our little miracle was coming true. 

However unfortunately at 9 weeks we experienced some problems which lead to a trip to our local hospital followed by some surgery and a few nights stay. 

Unfortunately we lost our baby, however we are coming together as a couple to try raise as much money as we can to support anyone else experiencing loss of any baby, naturally created or through IVF like us. Any type of loss is just as painful and we would like to do what we can to help stop other women and men face what we are facing. 

As a couple we don’t enjoy running and couldn’t think of anything worse so this will be a challenge, but for us this gives us a reason to push through and to keep positive knowing we are helping. 

We aren’t just running for our magic star we are running for every single star that has been lost in this world ⭐️🌟
