I’m walking/running 2k a day in January for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to running 2k a day this January for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

Wow! Smashed it today with my first parkrun back since early November 2025.
Total now £621 - an amazing amount - the same numbers as the target 62km distance (I love unexpected alignments, 😀 )
You are all awesome humans. Thank you from all the parents who have  been through this and will do in the future. x

Target distance achieved today!

Hi all, 
Just a quick note to say I’ve now covered the 62km target distance for the month with 5 days to go! Whoop! I have committed to walking or running at least 2km a day so will keep going to the end of the month. Hopefully doing a parkrun on Sat 31st to celebrate. 
We are blown away (literally with the January weather) by your generosity (nearly £600!). 
Thank you so much! x

£500+ raised! Fantastic!!

We are blown away by your generosity. Thank you thank you thank you! 
We’re getting out there doing our walks weather dodging at the moment, but definitely increasing our fitness and helping us deal with our emotions. 
Hope to be switching to jogging and putting the running shoes on now we are in the second half of January.
Thank you again!

OMG! You superstars! Thank you thank you thank you!

Hi all,
I’ve just logged on to the page and are taken a back with the total and generosity shown by all of you.  Paul and I are committed to keep our 2km a day going and I hope to be jogging soon when the weather improves. Have banked another 2km today in case Storm Gerotti hits hard but if weather is ok ish I’ll go out as it is a per day challenge, challenge being the optimum word here. 
Am determined to make a difference and make this tragedy into something more positive so thank you so very much for your support. It really does mean a lot to us.
Best wishes, Jennifer

Wow! Thank you so much!

Thanks very much all for the kind donations since I started. We’ve smashed the original target of £175 so am seeing if I can raise a little bit more with a target of £250. 
Am walking well and this challenge is really helping with my motivation and emotional recovery. 😀
