We're two friends that have both experienced the devastation of miscarriage and having to navigate through the physically and emotionally challenging journey in a world where there is still so much silence surrounding early pregnancy loss, despite around 1 in 4 pregnancies ending in miscarriage.
Having both gone through it, we can relate to why so many women are left feeling alone, isolated, depressed and in the dark about where to turn to for support, so we want to turn our pain into power and help support more women getting the help they need.
Together we're fundraising to support the incredible work of the Pink Elephants. A not-for-profit charity consisting of only a small team, but so powerful and aspiring for how much they do to help women through their grief and journey to recovery, fighting for better early pregnancy loss rights and to get the funding from the government they so desperately need to continue their work and create change. Currently the government does not provide any funding, it is purely donations. If you haven’t already, please take the time to read about their recent campaign and sign their petition to unlock $1.6M of government funding.
Our first fundraising event will be a Morning Pink Tea, with guest speakers to help raise awareness about early pregnancy loss and share their own personal stories, an array of pink treats and a raffle to help raise as much money as we possibly can for such an important cause.
To everyone who supports us, we couldn't appreciate you more. And remember no matter what the donation, every little helps. Thank you, Maris and Ebs x
