Day 28: can’t believe it’s here

Saturday 28th Feb
I’ve run 28 back-to-back 2Ks throughout February, all in memory of the most beautiful little princess who became the brightest star in the sky. ✨ Every run has been for her. I know that no amount of steps will ever help her parents, but I hope that in a small way it helps SANDs continue to be there for families facing the most unimaginable pain. From the immediate comfort of memory boxes to longer-term group support, they show up for people when they need it most! Thank you to SANDs for setting the challenge. Thank you to the 2K STRAVA gang for the encouragement, support and gentle peer pressure on the days my legs were questioning my life choices. And thank you to my friends and family who have listened to me BANG ON about 2Ks, February, trainers, weather, hills, hips and pain and “just one more run ” for 28 days straight!! Most of all, thank you to her amazing parents. Thank you for allowing me to raise money in your beautiful girl’s memory. Thank you for trusting me to be careful with her memory, while you continue to carry a loss that no one should ever have to bear. This month has been emotional, more than I expected. But every step has been for her. 💜🧡

Day 27: One left

Friday 27th Feb
Cannot believe there is only one more run left! I’ve had so much support and the donations … JUST WOW! Never did I ever think I’d be getting to the end of this challenge feeling okay, not saying I love running, I don’t… but I’ve enjoyed the challenge as a whole! One last run to go tomorrow.. I couldn’t be prouder of the charity, or my friends and family and of myself! Xx thank you

Day 23: and we hit £1,000

Monday 23rd Feb
I honestly can’t believe it!! To receive any donation has been incredible, but £1,000 is Shammazing!
Thank you!! I’m emotional about it!

Week 4

Monday 23rd Feb
Struggling with some injuries now. My AS is having a little kick off. Mentally motivated, but the closer I get to that finish line the harder it feels, I am sure it’s supposed to be the other way round! I have enjoyed getting fitter, and doing all of this for SANDs, to make sure all those families are supported in the most compassionate and caring way possible, really does give me that last little boost!

Day 17: PR set

Tuesday 17th Feb
Today I beat my Strava PR. 2.12k in 15:53m which for me and my little arthritic back issue, is pretty incredible! Well done me! Still overwhelmed with the donations! This has been a challenge I don’t plan on repeating, but I feel immensely proud from the donations and by the motivation from everyone! Thank you!!

Day 15: The start of Week 3

Sunday 15th Feb
Not sure why snow needed to be added to this challenge, but here we are. The start of week 3, is still such a difficult daily effort, but I know why I am doing this, and it’s to support all of those families that are going through the worse time imaginable, and having SANDs as a resource that fully supports them through their grief! X

Week 2, Day 9

Monday 9th Feb
Had a little go on the treadmill today as had to fit it in between mum swimming lesson duty! I am so incredibly overwhelmed by the generosity of all my friends, family and colleagues, who know how much of a challenge this is for me personally, but are donating as well, because they too know someone or are affected by losing a child. No one should lose a child, but when it does sadly happen, SANDs is there supporting parents every step! They are incredible!

Day 7!

Saturday 7th Feb
Cannot believe it’s been 7 days already! Thank you so much to everyone that has donated, you are incredibly generous!

Day 3 Run

Tuesday 3rd Feb
25 more to go! Today Aaron, my husband was my run buddy! A difficult one living in a very hilly part of Bolton. But did it!

2 more sleeps

Friday 30th Jan
Gym session on Friday morning to keep the legs moving!

Only “activity from Sunday 1st” will be counted towards my end goal, these little warm up activities are just me making sure I’m okay!

Thanks again for all your donations! 

Surely not… doubled the target … again!

Thursday 29th Jan
You absolute wonderful humans, blown away by your generosity!  It sounds silly, I’ve doubled the target, again!! 
Thank you to everyone so far! 
There is still time to donate, all through Feb I will be completing this challenge! 

2k Warm up run

Wednesday 28th Jan
To make sure I didn’t die!  2.39k.  21:36
It was hard, but I did it!

Doubled the target!

Tuesday 27th Jan
Thank you to everyone that has donated so far…. Incredible! 
The new target is £350!
5 more sleeps and I’ll be taking on this task… please donate!

My legs will hate me, my heart will be full, running in memory of tiny toes…

Sunday 25th Jan
This Feb, I’m taking on something that feels slightly nuts but means so much to me… I’ll be attempting to run/ or at least do 2km every single day to raise money for SANDS.

I am NO runner, so this will be a mix of outdoor “runs”, treadmill miles, and wherever else I can squeeze in a slow, stubborn 2km. My AS will absolutely kick my arse along the way but I know every step will be worth it.

I’m doing this in memory of a beautiful little girl that gained her angel wings in 2025, and for all the babies who were taken far too soon, and for the families who carry that love and loss with them every single day. 

SANDS is there for families in their darkest moments, offering comfort, understanding, and a reminder that they don’t have to face that heartbreak alone.

Because of the incredible generosity I’ve had so far, I’ve doubled the target to £350!!  I’d be so grateful for any support, whether that’s a donation, a share, or a bit of encouragement when I’m staring at a treadmill clock questioning my life choices!! Strava and Fitbit will be monitoring my progress.

I am absolutely open to running with anyone, so please get in touch if you fancy being my run buddy on any of the days!

Love the cause, and I admire the dedication / commitment. I hate running, so I know how hard this will be for another non-runner. Good luck!!
