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.

Late to the Party

Friday 2nd Jan
Okay, 
So I am a little late to this party, but having seen this challenge on Instagram (yes I was doomscrolling) I realised that it would be an excellent way to spend time in January supporting an incredibly important aspect of maternity healthcare. 

We all know someone (or more than someone) who has experienced loss of a child, and it is - in my opinion - a topic that we don’t talk about enough, often leaving families and those closest to us feeling unheard, unseen and unsure of where to turn to. 
I am thankful for Sands and the work that they do to support families in their times of grief. And I hope that this challenge is one small way that I can help. 

I would love to raise £2K as I commit to running 2K a day for the next 29 days! (maybe I will run a little further to make up the days I’ve missed). Raising £2K might be a little ambitious … so let’s start with £500 and see where we get to together. 
Please join me on this challenge, either by running yourself or by donating via my page! 

Thank you :)
