A couple who suffered three miscarriages and a stillbirth before the arrival of their son in February will be undertaking a seven-hour exercise marathon to raise funds for charity Tommy's.

Amy and James Hawtin will be donning their trainers for a full workout day to raise hundreds of pounds for the charity, which supported them during their heartbreak.

New mum Amy, from Chapel-en-le-Frith, is also holding a ball at the Devonshire Dome next month, but wanted to do another fundraising event.

She said: “People who can’t come to the ball still wanted to donate, but I wanted to show them I was doing something for their money.

Amy and James Hawtin welcomed their miracle baby, Jasper after suffering three miscarriages and a stillbirth.

“I try to get to the gym most days but wanted to push myself and thought this would be a good way to raise more money for Tommy’s, who were so wonderful to me.”

The exercise marathon will be taking place at the Fitness Station, on Long Lane in Chapel-en-le-Frith, from 9am on Sunday October 22, when people will be able to take part in a variety of classes.

Amy added: “Thanks to Rick and Chris for making this happen.”
