In January 2015, I first heard the words “there’s no heartbeat.” I didn’t know then that this was the start of a long journey and that my husband and I would endure six pregnancy losses on our path to having our two beautiful rainbow children.

The Pink Elephants Support Network removes the stigma, guilt and loneliness that is often felt with pregnancy loss. They do this by simply “being there” for women and their partners, providing much needed resources and support for those experiencing pregnancy loss. Their Peer Support Companions have experienced pregnancy loss themselves. They get it – they are understanding, compassionate and supportive.

On Sunday August 28th, I will be running the half marathon event (21.1km) in the Lake Macquarie Running Festival. This was the due date of my first loss 7 years ago. Please join me in helping this truly beautiful organisation to continue providing much needed support to the 283 women every day who experience pregnancy loss. Every donation is greatly appreciated.
