I’m Michelle and in Nov ‘24 I ran from Adelaide to Port Fairy, 569kms in 11 days and raised over $100,000 for the Stillbirth Foundation Australia.

💜 Evaluators Needed

We have reached an exciting milestone.

The first working prototype of Celeste – Your pregnancy, understood. is now ready for evaluation.

Before making Celeste available more broadly, we are looking for a small group of people willing to explore the platform and provide honest feedback.

We would love to hear from:

💜 Pregnant people
💜 Partners and support people
💜 Parents
💜 Parents with lived experience of pregnancy loss
💜 Midwives and nurses
💜 Obstetricians and clinicians
💜 Researchers and digital health professionals
💜 Government and health stakeholders

Your feedback will help improve Celeste and shape future development.

To learn more and register your interest:

Thank you for helping us build something we hope will make a difference for parents and families everywhere.

October is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and wouldn’t it be great if corporates and big business got behind this cause to help breakdown the stigma of this common daily occurrence.

What a great opportunity for your business to step up and be different, raise funds for a cause that many are to scared to acknowledge is happening everyday.

Hold a morning tea or casual day Friday, put a few bucks in the pot and help make a difference to bring more babies home.

And don’t think if you’re an employee that you can’t be a driver of change. Approach HR or Marketing, whoever it is you need to speak to, and lead the way.

Happy birthday to the guy that gets up and fights for your babies every day of the week 💜

Your heart is so big and your drive to make governments sit up and listen even bigger. You don’t do it for pats on the back, you do it for Celeste, and for her friends in the Milky Way 💫

Today is about you so let’s celebrate the 65 years this world has been blessed to have you ❤️

Tomorrow is Father’s Day, a day to celebrate the dads in our lives, and this can come in many forms.

For some it will be remembering a dad that has passed or if they are lucky celebrating the good times with dads, step dads or granddads. For some dads it will be a reminder of a child no longer here, and those dads will need love.

Then there will be the dads that never had the chance to take their baby home, ever. These are the dads that can often be overlooked, unintentionally, by friends. These are the dads that often think others don’t see them as a dad.

I encourage those who have a friend, who never got to bring their baby home, let them know you are thinking of them, use their baby’s name, and use the word dad (or papa or whatever is relevant to their family), don’t be afraid to care 💜

Happy heavenly 25th birthday baby girl.

This past year has really been a tough one, but then you know that as I’ve spent a lot of time talking to you about it on my walks.

I wish you were here to share in the moments. Your dad is still pushing to change the world for the better, he is making great progress. Your brother is doing really well with his career, he works hard, and as you know (from our chats), he has a beautiful partner who I know you would love 🥰

Life still has its challenging days without you here, but as I always say, your loss has ensured we live life to the fullest, because you didn’t get that chance.

Celebrating YOUR day today, how we think a 25yo girl would, with good friends, bubbles, and love and laughter 💖

It’s been 9 months since I haven’t been able to run and with no light currently shining at the end of the tunnel, it’s definitely challenging me mentally, especially as this is also the time of year I really lean on my running as Celeste’s 25th birthday approaches.

Thankyou Amber Phillips for getting me out on the trails yesterday morning, even if not running it was good for my soul 💞

Behind the smile

Losing a child is uniquely devastating and a traumatic form of grief. It shatters a future you had already begun to build and carries a heavy burden of invisible pain, that lasts a lifetime.

But it is because of this burden that I live life like tomorrow could look differently, I soak up the moments of happiness, I take far too many photos and I love those around me a little harder.

However in between the laughter there will be times I am silent, catch ups I will cancel, days I just want to be surrounded by family, or weeks I need to myself.

That is the burden of grief 💜

The hidden reality of stillbirth that no one ever shows you.

Education starts with awareness.

Thanks to our friends & we are working hard to break the silence and reduce preventable stillbirth around the globe 💜

Feeding my soul ☺️

Bali was where we ran to after Celeste’s funeral, to escape a reality we were not ready to face.

But we soon discovered Bali was exactly the right place to be, to try and understand our new title, bereaved parents.

Bali was the first place we felt comfortable to talk about our loss. The Balinese are a gentle culture who honour and respect those who have passed.

We were not afraid when asked, how many children do you have, to answer 2, Celeste who passed away and Luke. This was a question back home that was so difficult to answer as society at the time, and still is in parts, not able to cope with this answer. Our grief was respected and our daughter was acknowledged.

I will always be thankful for the role Bali has played in my life, and never stop visiting when I need a little nurturing 💖
