2026 November Swimming Challenge

I’m swimming in November for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to swimming this November 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 and provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals so that fewer babies die and fewer families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

Let's Do This!

Sunday 1st Nov
So, 40 lengths down… just another 760 to go! 😅🏊‍♀️

Today I officially started my 20K Swim Challenge for Sands 💙

Over the month of November, I will be swimming 800 lengths to raise awareness and support the incredible work that Sands does for families who have experienced the heartbreak of losing a baby or babies 💔

This year, I’m swimming especially in honour of precious baby George 💙

And as always I will be remembering beautiful baby Frances, babies Nora and Henry, and baby Rudi too 💙🩷

As a midwife, I’ve had the privilege of caring for so many families over the years whose precious babies were born sleeping or sadly died shortly after birth 💔😢

These are babies and families who have never left my heart, and never ever will. 💕

Every baby matters. Every baby has a story. And every baby deserves to be remembered. 💙

So, for all those precious little lives, and for all the moms , dads and families who carry their babies in their hearts every single day, I’ll be swimming every single one of those lengths with you in mind.

40 down, 760 to go… wish me luck! 😅🏊‍♀️💙

If you would like to make a donation, however big or small, to support Sands and the wonderful work they do, I would be so very grateful. Every little bit really does make a difference. 💙🩷

Thank you so much for your kindness and support. 💕

Sorting My Swimming Schedule

Saturday 17th Oct
So as you know I have committed to swimming 20K for Sands in November. 

This is a big commitment and will certainly be a challenge for me this year as I’ve only swam twice since January and have lost fitness due to lack of training generally over the year 😅

i will need to swim 20 times during November to achieve this goal, and each time I swim I will need to swim a minimum of 40 lengths to get the distance in too 😅

I know times are tough at the moment, but everything really is insignificant if you have lost or lose a baby to stillbirth or neonatal death 💔🥲

Please support me if you can asd every single penny helps to provide bereaved parents with support, a more comfortable hospital stay and of course support 💕

Sands has been a charity close to my heart for well over 20 years now and I will always do my best and my bit to support them and couldn’t do it without you guys 💕🥰🙏
