I’m jogging 31 miles in May for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to jogging 31 miles 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.

A bit about me
Friday 11th Apr At the start of the year we had visions of our family growing, our little girl was finally going to become a big sister. She is incredible, smart, loving and so caring. We were beyond excited for this new journey and so was she.Unfortunately, that was short lived following a trip to a&e. The words “I can see baby, but no heartbeat today” have haunted me ever since, I hear it frequently now. Clear as day. It’s been a huge journey, difficult at the best of times (all the time) as the world keeps turning for everyone else I feel mine is stuck in the loop of hearing your baby has no heart beat, feeling the guilt of if I could of done more, what did I do? Maybe I didn’t rest enough when working full time and playing mum and wife? But that’s not the case at all.
Many families are affected by miscarriages and it wasn’t until my family went through the loss of our baby that this is far too common. It was humbling because many of these families grew to expand on their beautiful families even despite the tragic loss of their babies. This gave me a sense of comfort. I’m not on my own and it’s not my fault nor anyone’s when this happens.
I am still trying to find the peace with the loss our baby, it gets harder before it gets easier apparently. That’s why I want to be apart of the fundraising for Sands, Utilise the 31 miles jog to transform and strengthen my temple from carrying my baby, to miscarrying, to bringing myself new physical challenges that serve my body the strength to become healthier to carry again someday. Also, with this fundraising it will enable us to spread the awareness and support of Sands to everyone affected by the loss of their baby in hope this reunites those who feel alone during this time to speak openly about their story and remember who we lost but may their memory live on whilst we continue to raise awareness and provide everlasting support moving forward to the light that will one day break through.
