April Jogging Challenge

I’ve committed to the April Jogging Challenge for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to the April Jogging Challenge 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.

I picked Sands for my 100km April challenge because I know loss. I’ve had two miscarriages, and I remember how emotionally painful and isolating that was. The grief was real, even if the world didn’t always see it. 

I also know joy. I’m lucky enough to have two healthy children now. Holding them makes me even more aware of how devastating it would be to lose a baby you’ve carried, birthed, and loved. I can’t imagine that pain — and I don’t want any parent to face it alone.

I’m halfway-ish through April and my legs are definitely feeling these kilometres. Progress isn’t neat. Some runs look identical to the last. 

I’m running for the parents who never got to bring their baby home. I’m running with gratitude for my two children. And I’m running so Sands can keep being there, for every family, for every type of loss.
