On 12th March, 2023 I will be running my first half marathon. I am running for my daughter who never got to walk on this earth, and raising awareness about pregnancy loss. Each week I will be sharing some information about pregnancy loss and keeping you updated on my training goals in the lead up to the big run. After losing our daughter, Zephaniah Grace at 16 weeks in April 2022, I lost all motivation to care for my body and was feeling very unfit. I felt insecure about my body. In my grief there have been many layers. I have grieved the loss of fitness and endurance I once had. By running this half marathon, I am able to say that this grief will not defeat me. This is a way I can honour my daughter. I received support from Pink Elephants after a friend recommended their Facebook group. Their support has been super helpful and I have been able to grieve with others and feel less alone. Pregnancy loss is often down played and overlooked. I want to help raise awareness and funds to keep valuable programs and supports available to all other families going through pregnancy loss.

1/2 marathon is complete! I was so nervous, but the adrenaline and drive of running for Zephaniah got me to the finish line! 🏅 Thank you to everyone who has supported and helped me as I've raised awareness about pregnancy loss. To any other mums out their grieving and trying to make sense of their world without their precious babies, I see you, I hold you and I cry with you. They will never be forgotten and forever hold a place in our hearts 💜

The half marathon is only 13 days away! I am kicking goals in my training for the run. I regularly run 10kms-16kms at a time. I find it amazing how my body and mind has adapted to running. A few months ago I found 5kms very hard, and now that's an easy run.

Once again I am so grateful and overwhelmed by the support and feedback I have received since starting this fundraiser. The most important part for me is raising awareness for pregnancy loss and breaking down some of the barriers and stigmas that come with it. I have raised the bar higher to $5000.
