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

I'm running 50k in September for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

I'm doing this for two people who mean the world to me. My very best friend Natasha, who lost her precious baby Matilda at just four days old in June. And Kimberley, who lost her beautiful Luna in 2019 — Kimberley is taking on the 50k herself this month too.

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.

I'll be honest — I've been trying to get into running for a while now and it has been going... let's say slowly. So this is exactly the push I need.

Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.
