10km Ribbon Run

I’ll be running for two very special little boys who will forever be part of my heart — Matthew and Charlie.

I lost my beautiful boys, and there are no words that can truly explain what it is like to lose your babies.

Matthew lived for just two hours.
Charlie lived for four days.

Two precious lives that were far too short, but two lives that changed me forever.

Although the miles I’ll run are only 10 kilometres, for me this run represents so much more. It’s for the memories, the love, the heartbreak and the boys I wish I could have watched grow up. It’s a way of saying their names, remembering them and making sure they are never forgotten.

I’m running for Matthew and Charlie. 💙💙
