‘I experienced life in a new way’
Ten years ago, we travelled down to the coast for the Comrades Marathon. My husband’s a runner and has completed 10 marathons, so we make an annual trip out of it to support him. That year I was pregnant with our first-born, so it was an exciting time for us.
During the race, I was standing at the halfway mark waiting to cheer my husband on as he passed. I was feeling really well, happy and on top of the world. But that’s when life decided to throw me a curveball. I suddenly collapsed and was rushed to a nearby hospital. Luckily, the doctor confirmed that the baby and I were both healthy and said it had probably been a sudden dip in my blood
