S11 E1 - Steve & Nicola, father and daughter - the affects of miscarriage on families

In this episode, we sit down with Nicola and her dad Steve for a heartfelt conversation about their journey through miscarriage, infertility, and the lasting impact loss can have on families. Together they share their personal experiences, the challenges they’ve faced, and why open conversations and community support are so important when navigating grief.

Steve talks about how loss has affected him as a parent and grandparent, and why he wanted to do something meaningful to support families going through similar experiences.

Steve is currently fundraising by taking on an incredible challenge throughout March. He is running 5km every day during the week and 10km on weekend days, and last Sunday he completed the Cambridge Half Marathon alongside Nicola and her husband Emmet. His challenge is all about raising awareness and vital funds to support families affected by baby loss.
