My Story

On January 11th 2025, we unfortunately lost our baby due to an ectopic pregnancy, a baby that we had longed for for over 4 years. During the grief of this loss, The Ectopic Pregnancy was my beacon for support and guidance and I owe them the recognition and fundraising that they deserve. I will be running the Great North Run in honour of our baby who was due on September 7th, the day of the run. 

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. 

I would be increadibly grateful for your support.  I will be training hard to take part in this iconic half marathon raising crucial funds and awareness for ectopic pregnancies.
