I’m 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.

Day 2 of the Sands January Challenge and I have been blown away by the £500+ that my friends and family have already donated. I’ve upped my target to £1000 and will be thinking up something even more challenging to end the month on… ideas welcome. #Sands #SandsCharity #BabyLoss #PregnancyLoss #Sands2k

Wow 🥹 I’m blown away that you’ve all already helped me hit my target of £200 in just a few hours from posting. I’m increasing it to £500, so let’s see how far we can go.

This January I’m running 100km to raise money for SANDS who support families through pregnancy and baby loss. It’s a tragedy that affects hundreds of thousands of parents across the UK each year, and is something close to my heart. Please donate via the link in my bio, and follow along to find out more about what Sands do and why they do it. #SandsCharity #running #babyloss #pregnancyloss #fyp
