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, and in memory of our angel baby 🩵🩷

We walked into our 12-week dating scan with a quiet kind of excitement, finally everything started to feel more real. 

We’d been holding onto a secret, counting down the days until we could finally tell everyone. We had talked about how we might do it and who we’d tell first. For 3 months I had been growing a tiny human, limbs and organs already developed. 

Instead, everything changed in a matter of seconds. The room was silent and I just knew. I knew this tiny life I had grown was no longer there.

No one really talks about the decisions you suddenly have to make in the middle of that shock. You’re not just grieving, you’re being asked to choose how the miscarriage will happen, whilst you’re still processing the loss of your baby.

And then the world just … carries on.

Alongside the emotional shock came the physical reality of miscarriage, something people rarely talk about in detail, but something that deserves to be acknowledged. The waiting, the pain, the exhaustion. My body going through something so intense, while my mind was still trying to catch up with what had happened. The cramping, the bleeding, the hormonal crash. It’s draining.

Some days feel almost normal, and then something small, a memory, a passing comment, can bring everything rushing back.

It can also feel incredibly isolating. Pregnancy loss is more common than people realise, yet when you’re in it, it can feel like you’re the only one. There’s a silence around it that makes it harder to process, harder to talk about. That’s part of why I’m sharing this.

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.
