I’m walking 100K in September for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to walking 100K 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 less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.
Thank you.

💙 I DID IT! 100K FOR SANDS! 💙
Tuesday 22nd Sep💙 I DID IT! 100K FOR SANDS! 💙
Throughout September, I was the challenge of walking 100K to raise awareness and funds for SANDS, a charity that is incredibly close to my heart.
And today, after just 22 days… I’ve done it! 100K COMPLETE! 🚶♀️🎉
It’s been a challenge trying to fit it in, but knowing I was doing it for such an important cause has kept me going every step of the way.
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has taken the time to message me, encourage me, check in on my progress and cheer me on. Every single message has meant so much.
But most importantly, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has sponsored me. Your generosity means more than I can put into words, and it will help SANDS continue to support families through the unimaginable loss of a baby.
I’m incredibly proud to have completed the challenge, but even more proud to have done it for SANDS and the families they support. 💙
100K done. 22 days. One very special cause. 🥹💙
Thank you, thank you, thank you! xx

🚶♀️ 94K DONE… JUST 6K TO GO! 💙
Monday 21st Sep🚶♀️ 94K DONE… JUST 6K TO GO! 💙
This month I’m taking on the challenge of walking 100K for SANDS, and I’m so happy to say that I’ve now walked 94K! 🥳
That means I’m so close to reaching my 100K target, and I couldn’t have got this far without all the support, encouragement and kind words along the way. ❤️
If you’ve thought about sponsoring me but just haven’t got around to it yet, there’s still plenty of time! Every donation, no matter how big or small, would mean so much to me and, most importantly, would help support an incredibly important charity.
If you don’t know about SANDS, they really are a fantastic charity. They provide support to parents and families when the unthinkable happens — the loss of a baby through stillbirth or neonatal death. They are there to help bereaved families through something no parent should ever have to experience.
So, just 6K to go… I’m nearly there! 💪🏼💙
Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored me, shared my posts, encouraged me or simply asked how I’m getting on. It genuinely means the world. ❤️
If you’d like to sponsor me, my fundraising page is still open. Every donation makes a difference. 💙

💙 69km done… 31km to go! 💙
Sunday 13th Sep💙 69km done… 31km to go! 💙
I can’t quite believe I’ve already managed 69 kilometres towards my 100K target this month! 🏃♀️
The support so far has been absolutely incredible. I’ve received some truly lovely messages, and the donations have meant more to me than I can put into words. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me. ❤️
There’s still plenty of time to donate, and if you can spare just £1, it really can make a difference to families who are grieving the devastating loss of their babies.
I should know. 💔
Every kilometre I walk and every pound raised is for those families, and I’m determined to keep going and reach that 100K target.
If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, I’d be incredibly grateful. £1 really can make a difference. 💙
Thank you for following my journey, supporting me, and helping me turn these kilometres into something that can make a real difference. 🙏
