Rachael said: “We had a complex pregnancy. I have polycystic ovary syndrome and when we found out I was pregnant, we didn’t know how far along we were.
“I started bleeding, so we were referred to EPAC and found out we were only three weeks in. I was asked to come back two weeks later but at that point there wasn’t any fetal development, meaning our baby couldn’t be born.
“We were advised to have a medical management of the pregnancy but that didn’t work so I had to come back for a manual vacuum aspiration.
“It was an awful experience for us but we were both looked after exceptionally well by staff. They were brilliant, so wonderfully caring. We were in an impossible situation and they supported us through every procedure and we cannot thank them enough for their kindness.
Harry added: “We would also like to thank our family and friends for all their support during this traumatic time and, to everyone who made a donation, we really appreciate your gift. We’d also like a special mention for Sam at Three Sheets to the Wind pub for hosting the charity gig. It was a great event and everyone had a fantastic time.”
