2026 Run 50k in September

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.

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. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

Couch to 50k COMPLETE ✅

I’ve done it. 🤍 Challenge complete! I feel incredibly lucky to have my two boys, and being their mum is something I’ll never take for granted. They’re a constant reminder of just how precious life is and how much love can exist in such tiny little people. That’s why I chose to take on this challenge in support of families who have experienced the loss of a baby. 💙 Baby loss is something no parent should ever have to face, and yet so many families are left carrying an unimaginable grief. I wanted to do something, however small, to show my support and help raise money for families who are going through, or have been through, such an incredibly difficult experience. So, challenge complete — and I’m so proud to have done it for such an important cause. 🩵 Thank you to everyone who supported me, donated, encouraged me or simply followed along. Every bit of support means more than you know. For the babies who are loved, remembered and missed. For the families who carry them in their hearts. And for my two boys, who remind me every day just how lucky I am. 🤍

Keeping going!

Lost a little motivation with pain and illness so had to manage a walk tonight with my wee bestie. Slowly but surely creeping up the mileage!🤞 Keep donating please!

Third of the way!

Friday 11th Sep
Third of the way through the month and further ahead than I'd hoped. Taking each day as it comes and still resting in between. I'm on couch to 5k week 7 coming into 8 and now running for much longer periods of time but I'm incredibly proud of how much I'm managing to do!🏃‍♀️🥹🥵 Keep donating!🤞

Couch to 50K!!!!

Sunday 23rd Aug
I'm 3 weeks into the couch to 5k and have suddenly enjoyed the peace and achievement that comes with running. 

I lost a baby and mostly dealt with it on my own at the time. I didn't realise how many people around me had lost a child and how common it was. 
So when I seen the 50k in September for SANDS I figured, I could give it a go. 

Please sponsor as much as you can, I'd love to raise as much money for an amazing cause that helps so many women and families in the roughest part of their lives.
