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.

Well that’s that complete! Can’t say that I enjoy these challenges tbf but they certainly give you a sense of satisfaction when finished lol! This is a charity that sometimes hits home a little harder than we would like! For me this challenge was for 3 special little girls that are not with us as they should be, Jesikah, Mila and Maddie x and to everyone else affected by a loss xx 

Slow start!

Well nothing like a deadline to get you moving lol! Only 44k and 17 days left all will be fine 😂 thank you very much for all the donations! I will complete this while thinking of some very special people who have been affected by these losses xx 

Stepping Out for Sands!

Tuesday 28th Apr

This May, I’m taking on the Sands 50K Challenge to raise money for Sands. It’s a cause that means a lot to me, the same as many others I have experienced loss and this feels like a positive way to remember that while supporting other families.

I’ll be spreading the 50K across the month, just getting out when I can and doing what feels manageable. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about taking the time, having space to think, and quietly working towards something that matters to me.

Every kilometre is a small step towards raising awareness and funds for the support Sands provides to families going through baby loss. If you’re able to donate or share, I’d really appreciate it 💛
