My Reasons to Walk 100K in March

Nearly two years ago, I lost a baby at 12 weeks.

Three days after our baby had already passed, I haemorrhaged.

A week later, after continued bleeding due to retained tissue, I had to have a D&C.

It was traumatic.

It was painful.

And it changed me.

I wish people understood that it doesn’t matter how many weeks you were.

It doesn’t matter that you hadn’t met them yet.

Losing a baby you can never hold still leaves a space that never quite goes away.

I’m quite a private person.

But I am also determined.

This March, I’m taking on 100k with my two children — one just 3 years old, and my youngest only 4 months. I’m doing it for the baby we lost, and for every family who finds themselves in that world no one prepares you for.

Sands is there afterwards.

When the world carries on.

When people don’t know what to say.

When you just need someone — even someone you don’t know — to listen. Sometimes that really does make it easier.

I’m fundraising now because I hope:

• Other families can get the support they need.
• Fewer families might have to go through this in the future.
• And no one feels alone in their loss.

Any little donation can make a big difference. 🤍

Thank you for supporting me, and for remembering our baby with us.
