London Marathon 2022 Own Place
Laura does the London Marathon
My Story
I will be taking on the world's famous TCS London Marathon on Sunday 2nd October 2022 for Sands.
As many of you know, our first baby boy Brody was born sleeping on 12 May 2016. I was 23 weeks pregnant when we received the devastating news that a heartbeat couldn't be found.
Some people still don't know that I had to give birth and as my baby was under 24 weeks we did not receive a death certificate or any official recognition that we had had a baby who died. This is the first time I have shared a picture of him.
I experienced a lot of complications later and after two years of being told it was not safe to try again and three investigative surgeries later, we received the green light that we could risk it. Now in 2022, we have a healthy three and half year old son and an almost two year old daughter.
Through taking on this legendary race I will raise money needed to help Sands prevent more babies from dying and meet the growing need for its support services. I also want to raise awareness of late miscarriage and that it often involves childbirth. Thank you.
