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.

While I was out running today, I found myself thinking about what this 2k-a-day challenge could really achieve. Yes, I’m the one lacing up my trainers every day. But this challenge has never been about me — it’s about something far bigger. It’s about families who are facing the unimaginable. Families who need support, guidance, and hope during the most difficult moments of their lives. It’s about raising awareness so that no family feels alone, and raising funds so that real, practical help is there when it’s needed most. Every step I take is for them. Together, we can do something truly powerful. By coming together as a community, we can raise both money and awareness. We can help support hospital staff across all hospitals with vital education and resources — education that saves lives, education that protects our children, and education that gives families a future they once feared they might lose. This challenge is proof that small actions, done consistently, can create real change. Just 2k a day may not sound like much — but when it’s backed by generosity, compassion, and shared purpose, it becomes something life-changing. If you’re reading this, you’re already part of it. By sharing this challenge, donating if you’re able, or simply spreading the word, you are helping to make a difference. You are helping families in need. You are helping hospitals and staff. You are helping to save children’s lives. Let’s keep going. Let’s keep raising awareness. Let’s keep showing families that they are not alone. Together, we can do this.

Smashed it 🤣💪🏼

Motivation

Thursday 1st Jan

I’m taking on the challenge of jogging 2km every day in support of SANDS, a charity that provides vital support to families who have lost their babies.

This cause is incredibly close to my heart, as my family lost two beautiful daughters — my sisters — who were both born full term but, heartbreakingly, arrived sleeping, my wife and I have also experienced having a miscarriage and understand how this can impact your life.


SANDS offers compassion, understanding, and support to families during the darkest times of their lives. By donating, you’ll be helping ensure no family has to face baby loss alone.

Thank you so much for any support you can give 🤍
