I'm raising money for UCLH stem membrane project In memory of our twin boys Joshua & Ethan.

I will be doing a pen y fan walk on Thursday 21st of July 

As most of you already know in August 2012 we found out we were expecting identical twin boys. But unexpectedly at just 21 weeks my waters started leaking, with little knowledge doctors and nurses had about pproms they told us labour would start in the next 48 hours and we would loose our babies. 

But our beautiful boys kept fighting for another 10 weeks, after weekly scans and spending 8 weeks in hospital on bed rest our boys were born on November 6th 2012 via emergency c section. 

Both boys were taken to neonatal special care where we were given a lot of hope as they were both doing well. But then the heartache came both boys became very unwell and passed away in our arms 16 hours after each other. 

Our heartache tore our world apart so please donate to this wonderful research to hopefully find a cure for pproms to stop anymore heartache.

Thank you xxx

UCLH have a amazing research project which plans to develop a way to heal the amniotic membranes after they rupture.



We want you to support us, for all babies born premature, and for all babies born too soon due to PPROM which stands for Preterm Prelabour (premature) Rupture of Membranes.

- We need over £30k to get them to the full amount needed for this amazing project. If you can be part of the team to get us here please join our team, each penny will be added to this.

- Six out of 100 babies in the UK are born prematurely, before the 37 week of pregnancy. Babies may be born early because a women goes into labour spontaneously. But sometimes babies need to be born early because they are having problems in the womb, such as poor growth for example. Improvements in the care of newborns mean that most premature babies survive and grow up normally despite being born so early. However some babies have long term health problems as a result of being born premature.

- Our understanding of premature birth is limited and that is why more research is vital. We research why some women go into labour early by studying the role of infection, the response to infection and the natural antibiotics in the vagina. We are developing therapies that could reduce a woman’s risk of going into premature labour. We are testing out new treatments to help babies grow in the womb.
