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.

Please help if you can 💕
I have decided to attempt this challenge to raise funds for a charity who have helped my brother’s family for many years. 
*Run 50k in September!*
My nephew, Matthew, heartbreakingly died before he could experience anything of this world, including the love of his parents, his brother and his yet to be younger sister. 
It’s never easy knowing what to do, how to help or how to start a conversation in circumstances like these, even when it’s your own family, but as this event kept popping up on my timeline I have taken it as an invitation to help, not only my family but the many families suffering the same heartbreak.
This is not going to be easy to accomplish, given my own current health struggles, so it would mean the world to me and my family if you could contribute any small amount at all, share my post and fundraising page, and pass on to as many people as possible.
We thank you immensely for any support you can offer.

Thank you to my Sponsors
