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

I'm running 50k 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.

First run done.

Monday 4th May
Completed my first run tonight. Couldn’t start the challenge until today due to work commitments between Ed and I, meaning neither of us were home together so I could go running and not be with Austin and Hattie! I haven’t run alone in I couldn’t tell you how long, I’ve dragged someone along every time I’ve attempted a run for the last however many years. Mainly due to embarrassment from how I look and how slow I shuffle but I’m not doing this for me and that meant I had to not care. 

I’ve already received over £100 in donations and I am blown away by that! I genuinely didn’t think any one would care enough about what I was doing or why to donate any money and honestly it all means the world. This being said. I’ve upped the target to £250 and keeping everything crossed I can reach it. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
