Little Blueberries

Help me save little lives, support families and fund vital research.

Today marks one year since Shane and I unfortunately experienced the realities of losing a little love we didnt even know we had. On this day, I dealt with pain for hours and hours until I felt like passing out. After having enough, we went to hospital, I found out I was pregnant, I was filled with excitement! and then,  seconds later,  they told me I was experiencing an ectopic pregnancy. I was rushed to another hospital for emergency surgery as I had ruptured my tube and was bleeding eternally. No time to fully comprehend and no one with me as we were in the middle of covid. The recovery was physically and emotionally painful.

But our story didn't stop here,  2 months later we found out we were 5 weeks pregnant. Our hearts rejoiced and we were unbelievably excited. We told a few special souls eagerly awaiting to surprise our family on Christmas Day. But once again, our hearts broke when I miscarried at 7 weeks. Our baby was the size of a Blueberry. It was heartbreak like no other and it almost destroyed me. I was highly anxious, sad, angry and didn't want to see or speak to anyone. 

But somehow, time helps. People help. I spoke to professionals for months after my miscarriage and my friends and family still hear about my pain. 

So, this year I'm doing something active for Red Nose so they can continue their important work supporting Australian families.

Each year in Australia, over 3,200 babies and children die suddenly and unexpectedly.

That’s nine deaths every day.

Shane and I are aiming to walk 150 kilometres over the next 30days (not including our casual steps throughout the day). If you can support my fundraiser, you will be helping to bring care and comfort to families when they need it most.

Your contributions mean Red Nose are one step closer to reaching their goal of zero sudden and unexpected deaths of babies and children.

Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting Aussie families, funding vital research, and saving little lives.

So please dig deep and together, we can make a difference for Red Nose and all the little lives they work so hard to honour.
