My Story
I am part of the 1 in 80 women to have gone through the pain, emotionally and physically, of an ectopic pregnancy. My first pregnancy. I was rushed to theatre as my tube had ruptured and I was bleeding internally. I had keyhole surgery to remove my left tube that unfortunately came with some complications. Recovery was hard, painful, confusing and a very lonely place. I found strength, courage and determination to raise awareness and vital funds for The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust. So in August 2025 when I was just 13 weeks post operation I hiked Mount Snowden and raised £320 for them.
This time I am pushing myself even more by taking on the Yorkshire Three Peak Challenge! A trek of 24 miles, hiking up 3 mountains, in 12 hours!
EPT is a community I found some peace and support in. Raising money for a charity so close to my heart gets me up, out in nature, it gives me focus and purpose and to be able to raise awareness and funds for EPT. A charity that receives no government funding but dedicates so much time & support helping women and families going through an awful experience in their lives.

''Today I went to see you but you were not inside
Doctors say you didn’t make it to the womb that you’ve got stuck along your way
I’m sorry little baby I don’t want to say goodbye.
The doctors had to do it just in case I die
Oh my heart is broken there’s no more left inside.
I don’t know why you weren’t meant for this earth.
Now every day all I can do is cry.
I’m in pain because I miss you and for what could have been
Sleep tight, my Baby Bhakar until we meet again''
