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.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. I’ve been out today to buy some running trainers and a sports bra for the babies!!!! 

I’m definitely gonna have to do this now with all your donations. Thank you so much.

Super unfit mummy of angels

Friday 26th Dec

Hi. 
I’ve lost 6 babies to miscarriage. Then the most heartbreaking loss was my daughter’s identical twin, Grace at 16 weeks pregnant. 

I am not a runner. I hate exercise! But I feel strongly about helping people who end up on this same journey as me. I’ve been lucky to have two beautiful rainbow babies since then. However, in the last 19 months I’ve also lost my brother at 42 years old in a tragic accident and my cousin at 44 years old to cancer. This is now adding to my motivation to do SOMETHING to help my own fitness as well as other families. 

Please donate (if only to force me to get off my lazy bum!). 

Thanks
Gillian xx
