2026 Walk 100k in September

I’m walking 100K in September for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to walking 100K in September 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.

100K for Reggie

Saturday 8th Aug

100,000 Steps for Reggie 💙

This September, Ruby and I are taking on a little challenge together — walking 100,000 steps throughout the month to raise money for Sands, the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity.

This is a charity that is particularly close to my heart because, before we had our rainbow baby Ruby, we lost our baby boy, Reggie.

We lost Reggie while he was still in the womb after finding out that he had congenital heart disease (CHD). He had a combination of three different heart conditions, which meant that sadly, we lost him before we ever got the chance to bring him home.

Not long afterwards, we were lucky enough to welcome Ruby into our lives. She is our rainbow baby, and walking 100,000 steps with her feels like a lovely way for us to remember her big brother while raising money for a charity that supports families going through baby loss.

Sands provides support and information to families who have lost a baby, helping them through what can be an incredibly difficult time. Having a charity like this available to families is so important, which is why I wanted to do something to support them.

So throughout September, Ruby and I will be getting our walking shoes on and working towards our 100,000-step target!

If you'd like to support us, we'd be incredibly grateful for any donation, however big or small. Every donation will help Sands continue the work they do for families affected by the loss of a baby.
