I'm really excited and really emotional! Its a strange feeling! Yesterday I got my place for the London Marathon! The ultimate runners dream to Run one of the Worlds greatest Marathons and to uptake the challenge of running 26miles!
However I'm running for a reason! I'm running for the Miscarriage Association! Recently my sister in law who is more of a sister to me than sister in law lost her baby boy 4 months into her pregnancy. It was devastating to say the least, I couldn't see my sister go through this. From the moment she became pregnant I was there, in fact I was one of the first people to know seeing that she told her Husband and me at the same time! We had so many dreams already made up, thoughts about Baby Khaira and his next 20 years etc. And in a moment it was all lost, and nothing could be done, nothing at all. My sister and me have always been there for one another and for me not to do anything for her was painful. To also loose the nephew I couldn't wait for and never give him the love I had planned to broke my heart.
Its a strange thing and maybe people don't understand it because up to now I didn't understand what pain people went through when they miscarried. You loose a being, a part of you a joy you couldn't wait! How is that ever replaced, its not, and it never can be.
This loss is like any loss, and I'm so happy that I've got a place on this charity to run for the Nephew I never got to hold and for my sister. Baby Khaira would have been born on the 12th April so on the day of the marathon my thoughts will be on my nephew and where I am scared of the 26 miles I have faith that I'll remain inspired and determined to get to the finish!
So watch this space for how my training is getting on! Would love for your support!
I will be fundraising come next year so please help me raise as much money as possible! This is something no one should go through so let's help raise awareness and help this cause!
Thoughts go to Jigar Khaira my unborn Baby Nephew.
