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

This January will see what would have been the 21st birthday of my beautiful first son, Louis.

I can think of no better way to mark this milestone in his memory than to raise awareness for all the parents who have also sadly lost their much loved babies. 

To do this, I’ve committed to running 2k a day this January.

Ironically, I may not get a chance to complete the challenge because of a need for surgery but in the event of this, I will pass the baton across to Louis little sister, Edith who will do the challenge with me. 

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.
