Walking 100K for Baby Loss Awareness — For Callum, For my loss , For SANDS

This September, I’m walking 100 kilometers in memory of the babies we’ve lost — and to raise funds for SANDS, a charity that supports families affected by the death of a baby.

This cause is incredibly close to my heart.

I’ve experienced the pain of losing a baby during pregnancy — a pain that stays with you, quietly, deeply. It’s the heartbreak of love with nowhere to go. The moments and milestones that will never happen. 

I walk for the baby I lost.
For the babies my friends have lost.
And especially for my mum, who lost her precious little boy, Callum — my brother. I never got to meet him, but he’s been a part of our family forever. I saw how that grief shaped her life, and in some ways, mine too.

Too many of the people I love have faced this kind of heartbreak — miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss. So many whispered stories. So many silent struggles.

But baby loss shouldn’t be silent.

That’s why I’m walking 100K — to speak up, to break the silence, and to raise money for SANDS, who do incredible work supporting bereaved families and raising awareness around pregnancy and baby loss.

Every step I take is for:

• My baby

• Callum

• The babies of my dear friends

• And every parent who’s had to say goodbye before they ever got to say hello

If you’ve been through this, I want you to know: you’re not alone. Your baby mattered. Your grief matters. And I’m walking for you too.

If you can support me — by donating, I would be so grateful.

Together, we can help make sure no one walks through baby loss alone.
