I’m running 50k in May for families facing baby loss

I'm running 50k in May 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.

50km in May 🤍

Thursday 30th Apr

Baby loss isn’t rare, but it’s often treated like it is. It’s something people don’t always know how to talk about, so a lot of the time… they don’t. And that can leave people feeling really isolated in something incredibly heavy.


And when we say baby loss, that can look different for everyone. Miscarriages, stillbirth, neonatal deaths, and even medical terminations due to complications. It’s all valid, and it all matters.


This is my small way of showing up for that.


50km over the month. walked, ran, whatever it takes, with the goal of raising money that goes directly towards supporting families and funding research to improve care.


If you want to donate or share, I’d be really grateful. And if this is something that’s touched your life in any way, just know you’re not alone in it 🤍
