A mum from East Lothian has spoken out about losing her baby as her son prepares to run a mini-marathon as a tribute.
Heather Ellis, 32, and partner David Stenhouse from Musselburgh tragically lost their daughter Lindsay at just 31 days old after she was diagnosed with Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Lindsay was born 12 weeks premature on August 11, 2022 and she died on September 10 at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
"Grief is like a wave", the mum said. She doesn't want anyone to go through what she did and is now trying to raise awareness. Heather has had a lot of support from Edinburgh charity Held in Our Hearts, which her five-year-old son Eli is now running to raise donations for.
