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.

And it's done!

Saturday 31st Jan
I did my final run this morning and hit 100km 🙌🏼 so happy with what I've managed to achieve 🙂 Hopefully the money raised will help those what need it 💜🧡

Still at it...

Saturday 24th Jan
I haven't been the best at updating the blog on here but I have been running every day, I'm starting to feel it now but there's only 7 more runs to do so I am focussing on that!

I'm very grateful to everyone who has donated but we are a little off target so if anyone can help 🙏🏼

Day 18 - My first ever 10k run!

Sunday 18th Jan
So last night I decided I'd aim for 10km today - I ran until I hit the 5k and then turned round and ran back home. I will probably be a broken woman tomorrow 😂 but I saw lots of other runners and was approached by a few cute dogs which spurred me on! 1.19:30 was my time for that! There's something for me to aim to beat in the future. Probably not again during this challenge though 😂

Day 17

Saturday 17th Jan
I'm over halfway through the challenge now and I just did a little 2k as I have a lot on today but it was nice to be pounding the pavement and seeing other people jogging too 🙂

Day 12 fitted around work

Monday 12th Jan
So today was a quick one to get me home from work quicker. It wasn't picturesque it was probably hilarious to anyone who saw me running clutching a huge water bottle with my bag swinging around but it's done 👍🏼 May be able to fit a bigger one in tomorrow as I'm off work for an afternoon appointment so we'll see.

Day 8

Thursday 8th Jan
I managed 5k this morning in 28m7s. Not bad. I was aiming for 6 but after the 5 I barely made it home to be honest. I've had some medical things going on and they came and bit me today is all I will say. However, now I've rested I feel ok and proud of the time I managed. Probably will get 2km tomorrow as I have the dentist before work, then I may aim for a bigger distance on Saturday 🤞🏼 Thank you again to those who have donated so far 💜🧡

Day 7

Wednesday 7th Jan
I was in work at 9.30 today so I set out for my 2km around 8am ... I have never run that early before 😂 but I got it done!

Day 5 in the snow ❄️

Monday 5th Jan
So this was a hard one. 32 minutes to do 2km as I was only able to jog on the fresh snow so I was carefully navigating the rest. But it's done now 😁

Day 3

Saturday 3rd Jan
Bit of tension on the old knees today, but I did a nice 4k over the bridge, abit into Widnes then turned around. Nice crisp morning for it! Tomorrow I will probably just do a slow 2k so I don't push myself to breaking point. But we'll see. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far 😊

Fundraising

Sunday 28th Dec
As many of you know, I started running in 2025 and I am working on building my stamina. So when I saw this challenge I couldn't turn it down, especially with it being for such an important cause.
