2026 Run 50k in September

Help Bethan raise 300!

I’m running 50k in September for SANDS

I'm running 50k 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 fewer families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

50k for baby loss 🌈

Sunday 23rd Aug
Hey everyone 👋🏼 I've decided to take on a challenge that’s a little outside my comfort zone… 🏃‍♀️

Throughout September, I’ll be running 50km to raise money for SANDS – the Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Society. 

I don't big myself up a lot, but over the last four years, I’ve been on my own lifestyle and health journey, and I'm proud of the barriers I've overcome and the progress I've made in improving my own physical and mental health. I wanted to normalise healthy choices and regular exercise for my daughter 🌈 and ultimately be the best mum I can be. 

Taking on this challenge feels like another part of that commitment. However, I’ll be honest, although I have run most weeks this year, I’m definitely not the best runner, so 50km is going to be a BIG challenge for me! My approach will be little and often 😅

I also wanted to do something that feels meaningful. Baby loss is something that touches far more lives than many people realise, and SANDS is a charity that supports that. I hope doing this will teach my daughter about the strength and resilience of women, who despite the loss and grief, have the courage to keep on going. That strength means a lot to me. 

So, throughout September, I’ll be getting the miles in — one run at a time — and hopefully raising some money along the way.

A huge thank you already to the lovely friends who have offered to join me for some of my runs. I’m going to need the motivation, encouragement and probably a fair amount of distraction! 😂

If you’d like to support me, sponsor me or simply follow along with the challenge, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help support the amazing work SANDS does for families affected by baby loss.
