The team managed to raise £ 1,309 for the Miscarriage Association.
“We want to raise awareness as well as money,†Amy said.
“Miscarriage can be considered a taboo subject.
“But in my own experience, it helped me to know that other people were going through the same thing as me.
“Miscarriages affect one in four people.
“You just don’t realize how many people have suffered from it. “
Amy initially decided to do the walk on her own, but soon realized that many of her friends and family had also miscarried and wanted to support the association with her.
“It was amazing to finish the walk,†she said.
“We are certainly tired but it was worth it.
“I’m glad the money is going to help people in need.”
