My story
I’m proud to be joining Team Tommy’s in the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April 4th, 2027, to support Tommy’s and their vital work to make pregnancy and birth safer for everyone.
This will be my first half marathon. I’m running because too many people still face miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth, and those risks are not shared equally.
Around 1 in 4 pregnancies in the UK ends in loss through miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth, and Black women are around four times more likely to die in pregnancy, and Black babies are more than twice as likely to be stillborn. Research also shows Black women face a higher risk of miscarriage.
I’ve seen close friends lose babies and live with the grief and uncertainty that follows. That’s why I want to do something concrete to help.
So, I’ll be taking on 13.1 miles through central London, passing many of our iconic landmarks along the route. I’ve already started training and building up my fitness with regular exercise and hikes, so I’m not starting from scratch...but I know I still have a lot of miles ahead. Your support will keep me going when the training (and the race) get tough.
If you’re able to donate, even a small amount makes a real difference. If you can’t give financially, please consider sharing my page or even cheering me on in spirit: it all helps.
Thank you for helping me turn this run into something meaningful for families facing pregnancy loss.
