Walk 100k in March 2026

I’m walking 100K in March for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to walking 100K in March 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.

The final walk for Sands.

Tuesday 31st Mar

Walking along the harbour today, I realised something…

The tide doesn’t rush.
It just keeps moving.

That’s what this month has felt like.
Not every day was easy.

Some were quiet, some were busy, some were heavy.
But step by step, I kept going.

 

This journey was for you 🤍🪽
For love that never leaves.
For memories that never fade.

 

Thank you for carrying me through this —

through donations, messages, encouragement and even quiet support. 🤍

 

There’s more behind these steps than I can always explain.

But you helped me to turn something painful

into something powerful. 💜

Thank you for walking this journey with me. 🧡💜

 

If you believe in what I’m doing — or in the cause behind it.

If you’ve been waiting to see if I’d make it to 100 km,

or if I’d make it to the final day.

I did it.

Now is the time to stand with me and to support Sands.

The fundraising page is still open, and this is the final push.

Let’s turn this last step

into something that lasts. 🤍

DAY 30

Monday 30th Mar
Spent most of today in a hospital waiting room…
one of those long days that seems to stand still.
Not feeling 100%,
but I still chose to walk home.
Partly because I “love” public transport…
168 km walked 👣🤍
Tomorrow is the last day of March—
The final day walking for Sands
And I’ll finish it, one way or another.

👣 DAY 28

Saturday 28th Mar

Today felt a little lighter.

Not because everything changed—
but because something shifted.

The steps felt steadier,
the air a little clearer,
and for a moment… it all felt calm.

our shadows side by side—
a quiet reminder that even on the long stretches,
we’re not always as alone as we feel.

 

You won’t always see growth happening.

Sometimes it looks like this —
another ordinary walk
that’s quietly changing me.

162 km walked 👣🤍

👣 DAY 27

Friday 27th Mar

Didn’t feel like walking today.
There’s a lot on my plate,
and the weather didn’t help—
grey, cold, wet, and windy.

Some days just feel heavier.

I let myself feel that…
and then I walked anyway.

Not every step feels strong.
Not every kilometre feels easy.

But showing up—
especially on the hard days—
that’s what matters most.

155 km walked 👣🤍

DAY 26

Thursday 26th Mar
On today’s walk, I had one of those moments that felt like more than a coincidence…
First, I spotted a little robin, quietly resting among the branches—
soft, gentle… almost watching.
Then, not long after, I found a single white feather lying in the grass.
Two small things…
but together, they felt like something more.
Maybe it’s just nature.
Or maybe it’s a quiet reminder
that we’re never really walking alone.
Either way, I carried that feeling with me
for the rest of the walk 💫
Another target met.
152 km walked 👣
For families navigating pregnancy and baby loss.
For better care.
For hope in the future.
That makes every step worth it. 🧡🤍

DAY 25

Wednesday 25th Mar
This challenge hasn’t erased anything.
But it’s given me space.
Space to breathe.
Space to remember.
Space to carry things a little more gently.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the future.
Not in a rushed way.
Not in a “what if” kind of way.
But in a steady, grounded way.
I don’t know exactly what’s ahead.
But I do know this—
I’m walking toward it stronger than I was before.
Still walking.
Still hopeful. 🤍
147 km walked 👣

👣 DAY 24

Tuesday 24th Mar

This walk isn’t just about now.
It’s about where I’m heading.

Every kilometre feels like a small investment
in a stronger, steadier future.

Comfort would have kept me inside.
Growth asked me to step out.
I’m choosing growth.

Every time I keep a promise to myself,
I learn to trust myself a little more.

And that trust…
might be the most important distance I’m covering.

141 km walked 👣🤍

👣 DAY 22& 23

Monday 23rd Mar

A slower, steadier pace today… but still showing up and moving forward.

Some days feel stronger,
some feel quieter—
but every step still counts.

Today was one of those calm, steady days where it’s simply about keeping going.

 

I watched two little birds sitting side by side, just taking it all in.
A simple reminder to pause, breathe, and appreciate the small moments along the way 🤍

 

Update on DAY 22

A much-needed rest day.

No walking, even though it was a very busy one.
Sometimes the challenge isn’t about pushing through,
but knowing when to pause, reset, and take care of yourself too.

 

Still walking. Just at my own pace. 👣🤍

136 km and counting

DAYS 20 & 21 👣

Saturday 21st Mar
👣 Day 21
Today I walked thinking about you. 🤍
Every step felt like a quiet promise that you are loved and never forgotten.
And then I passed a quiet little angel…
resting, peaceful, still.
A reminder that even in the middle of busy days and ordinary routes,
there is always something deeper walking with us. 🪽
Walking on for Sands and myself 🤍
Thank you to everyone supporting me on this journey—it truly means so much.
A little catch-up from yesterday…
Day 20:
I didn’t miss my walk 🙌
Even with a crazy busy day, I managed to squeeze in a quick 4.03 km.
It wasn’t long or reflective—just getting it done—but it still counts. Every step matters, especially on hectic days

👣 Day 19

Thursday 19th Mar

Some much-needed vitamin sea today…

the kind of weather that makes you slow down and just take it all in.

The sea was quiet,

the sun was soft,
and for a little while… everything just felt still.

There’s something about walking near the water.
The tide leaves and always comes back in.
The horizon keeps stretching ahead.


I came across a little feather along the way —
one of those small, gentle reminders that
we’re never really walking alone.

 

The steps might be mine,
but the meaning behind them carries so much more.

 

Still walking, with a little more peace today. 🤍

Day 18

Wednesday 18th Mar
Not the most scenic route today…
But plenty of signs that the seasons are changing.
Little hints of spring appearing quietly along the way. 🌱
Today’s walk took me past train tracks —
one line, steady and set…
but leading to so many different destinations.
Maybe we’re all just walking our own track…
moving forward,
trusting it’s leading somewhere we’re meant to be.
Not every path is exciting… but it is taking me somewhere. 👣

👣 Day 17

Tuesday 17th Mar

100km was the goal.
But some journeys don’t stop exactly where you planned.

So I kept walking.

Because this was never just about the number.
It was about the meaning behind it. 🤍

Every day of these walks has been different.
Today, I stopped for a moment and watched this little seal
struggling against the waves…

Until it found its place —
where the water settled, and it could finally rest.

And it made me think…

Life does the same.
It pushes you, pulls you under, tests your strength.

But somehow, you keep going.
You find your balance again.
You learn how to stay afloat.

And you come back stronger.

 

Still walking.

Still believing small effort matters.

Still hopeful about where this leads. 👣🤍

Day 16 👣

Monday 16th Mar

100 km for Sands. Completed. 🤍

What started as a challenge
became something much deeper.

100,000 metres walked with purpose.

For remembrance.
For support.
For hope.
For the footprints that never fade.
For the wings we can’t see. 🪽

I didn’t just reach 100 km —
I proved to myself that I can finish what I start.
And I’m proud of that. 🧡💜

My legs survived without blisters,
but the trainers are definitely asking for a holiday. 😅

But this journey doesn’t stop here.

There are still 16 days left in March
so let’s see how far the steps take me. 👣


👣 Day 15 — Mother’s Day

Sunday 15th Mar

Today started with a lovely breakfast with my ❤️
Some very cute homemade cupcakes and beautiful roses.

I’ve definitely been spoiled today.

 

The weather had other plans, though —windy, wet and cold
So today’s walk was a short one.

 

But today wasn’t really about the distance.

 

Mother’s Day can hold many different emotions.
Love, gratitude, memories, and sometimes quiet moments of reflection.

 

Today I walked with all of that in my heart.

And with the little wings that walk beside me,
every step of the way. 🪽

 

Still walking.
Still remembering.
Still moving forward. 💛

👣 Day 14

Saturday 14th Mar
I was feeling a bit under the weather today.
and almost skipped the walk.

But I didn’t.
So a late evening walk it was.

Some days it’s not about pushing hard —
It’s just about showing up.

Tonight’s walk came with a pretty good view too.

Progress, not perfection. 💛

👣 The finish line is very close now.

DAY 13

Friday 13th Mar

Friday the 13th… but no bad luck here.

Just another quick walk today.

The walks stop feeling like something you have to do
and start becoming something you simply do -  a routine...

 

It takes time to get used to new things. To heal.

To grow.

To become better for yourself.

 

Just like the trees — their leaves slowly changing.
These photos were taken just a week apart.

 

I don’t know exactly what my future holds.

But I know I’m walking into it stronger than I was before.

That’s enough hope for me. 👣

 

👣90km done

👣10km to go


Day 12 ✔️

Thursday 12th Mar

Day 12 of walking 100K in March for Sands💛 💜

And for me, myself and I…

 

Today’s walk felt like a bit of a battle with the wind.

 

But judging by the grass along the way,
I wasn’t the only one struggling against it.

But just like that grass —
Sometimes you bend a little and keep going.

 

The steps are adding up quicker than I thought.

👣 85 km walked
👣 15 km to go

The finish line is starting to appear on the horizon.

 

Day 11 ✔️

Wednesday 11th Mar

Today’s walk was short — just a quick one between everything else going on.

But sometimes it’s not about the distance.
It’s about remembering why you started.

Some angels leave footprints on your heart instead of the world. 👣🪽

The little wings that will always walk with me.

Day 10✔️

Tuesday 10th Mar

Today, the sun was trying to break through the clouds.

Along the way, I stopped for a moment and noticed something simple —
tiny drops of dew sitting quietly on the grass.

It reminded me that even the smallest things can hold so much meaning.


There’s something about walking that steadies me.

It doesn’t fix everything.
But it moves me forward.

And forward is enough.

Some days the steps feel light.
Some days, they take a bit more effort.

Today might have been one of the longer ones…

I might need a slightly shorter walk tomorrow… 😅


Every step is still for Sands and for the little footprints that never had the chance to grow. 🧡💜

👣 Day 9

Monday 9th Mar
A foggy walk today.

Some days the path ahead isn’t clear.
You can’t see very far.

But the steps still matter.

A little reminder to myself:

Even when the road disappears…
You keep walking.

One step closer to 100 km for Sands. 👣 🧡 💜

👣 Week 1 Reflection

Sunday 8th Mar

When I started this challenge, 100 km sounded like a lot.
Maybe even a little intimidating.

But the only way to do something like this…
is the same way every journey happens:

one step at a time.

Some mornings were windy.
Some were bright and sunny.
Some walks felt easy.
Some felt heavy.

And some days required a serious conversation with myself just to step outside.

This week wasn’t just about distance.

It was about showing up — even on the tired days.

It’s about remembering, healing, growing, and moving forward.
There’s more behind these steps than I can always explain.

 

Today I wanted to share my progress tracker.

Each footprint represents 1 km of the 100 km I’m walking this March for Sands Baby Loss Charity.

So far:

💛 £52.66 raised
👣 58.64 km walked
👣 41.36 km still ahead

More than halfway already.

Halfway isn’t just a milestone —
it’s proof that I’m stronger than I thought. 🧡💜

Each kilometre in this journey is for babies remembered
and for families who carry love and loss that the world doesn’t always see.

For the footprints that may have been small,
but will never fade.

For the wings we can’t see,
but feel every day.

 

Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged and donated so far — it truly means so much. 🤍

Even sponsoring just 1 km makes a real difference. 👣

Small steps. Big meaning. 👣

Day 8

Sunday 8th Mar
Another grey day on the coast…
but today I didn’t walk alone.
I had two walking buddies joining me for part of the journey. 👣
Some days the motivation comes from within.
And some days it comes from the people who walk beside you.
Either way, the steps keep adding up.
Thank you again to everyone supporting my 100 km challenge for Sands — every message, comment and donation means more than you know.
Small steps. Big meaning. 🧡💜

Day 7 ✔️

Saturday 7th Mar

Today I really didn’t want to walk.

I blamed the grey weather.
But honestly… the hardest part was just getting my lazy cheeks out of the house.

Once I started, it wasn’t so bad.

Even the tunnel signs were reminding me —
there’s only one way forward.


Small update from yesterday…

I forgot to include my afternoon walk, which added another 4.92km to the challenge. 👣

 

And just like that…

53.58 km done.

That means I’m officially past halfway in my 100 km challenge for Sands. 👣#sandsbabylosscharity

One week ago this felt like a very long journey.
Now the kilometres are quietly adding up, one step at a time.


Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and donated so far. It truly means so much. 🤍

Small steps. Big meaning. 🧡💜

 

Who else sometimes has to argue with themselves just to go for a walk?

Day 6 ✔️

Friday 6th Mar

Some walks are louder in your mind than they are on the road.

Today was one of those.

So I made a deal with myself:
Just 1 km.

If I still didn’t feel like walking after that, I could stop.

I didn’t stop.

Sometimes the hardest part is simply starting.

7.8 km today. 👣
The journey continues.
#sandsbabylosscharity

Day 5 ✔️

Thursday 5th Mar
The tired day.
No big reason.
Just tired.
But I went anyway.
And that’s the part that matters. 🤍
Not every kilometre feels strong.
Some are simply about showing up and putting one foot in front of the other.
6 km done today. 👣
The journey continues.

Just two of us...

Wednesday 4th Mar
Just us two tonight.
Walking for the little angel
we never had the chance to meet. 🤍
Every step in this challenge is for families who know this kind of love and loss. #sandsbabylosscharity

Introducing my tracker...

Wednesday 4th Mar

I thought I’d share my progress tracker 🤍

Here’s the journey so far 👣

 

Each footprint on this page represents 1km of the 100K I’m walking this March to support families affected by pregnancy loss, baby loss and the work of Sands. #sandsbabylosscharity

 

So far 24 footprints are filled — 24 km walked.

 

Progress isn’t loud- it’s one small step at a time.

But there’s something comforting about watching this slowly fill up.

 

If you’d like to sponsor just one footprint, the link is in the comments 🤍

Small steps. Big meaning.

 

A huge thank you to everyone who has already supported and donated — it truly means so much 🤍

Day 4

Wednesday 4th Mar
Day 4 of walking 100K in March for Sands💛 #sandsbabylosscharity
The sunshine from the past few days took a little break today —
but the steps didn’t.
Usually Wednesdays are when my energy dips,
and today was no different.
My body and legs are definitely aware of the challenge now.
No blisters yet though.
But the footprints still keep going forward. 👣🤍

Day 3

Tuesday 3rd Mar
Halfway through the week.
Not halfway through the challenge yet — but getting there.
Another sunny morning.
Mood lifted. ☀️
Same coastline.
Same commitment. #sandsbabylosscharity
But today felt lighter.
And I met a little guy along the way 🐦🤍
It’s funny how small moments can make a walk feel special.
One step at a time. 👣

Day 2

Monday 2nd Mar

Yesterday was wind and silence.
Today was light and rhythm.

 

Music on.
Sun shining.
Wind still there — but so am I.

 

What this walk is teaching me…
not every day will feel the same.
And that’s okay.

 

Officially double digits now …

Momentum is building.

 

So… prediction time 👀

By Sunday night, how many total kilometres do you think I’ll have walked?

Drop your guess below — I’ll reveal the answer at the end of the week 🤍

 

Every kilometre carries meaning. #SandsBabyLossCharity
If you’d like to sponsor just 1km, and be part of this journey with me, the link is in the comments. 👣🤍

The first steps…

Sunday 1st Mar

Today I started my 100km for Sands #SandsBabyLossCharity

 

But I’m also walking for myself.

For strength.
For clarity.

For hope.
For progress - in more ways than one.

 

It’s only the beginning, but every journey has to start somewhere.

 

First walk completed.

Not the easiest start, but a real one.


Weather wasn’t on my side.

Wind in my face.

Rain.

Cold hands.

 

Forgot my headphones.

No music. Just my own thoughts.

 

And maybe that’s exactly how this needed to begin. 🤍👣

 

5 km down.  

95 km to go.

If you’d like to join me for a few kilometres along the way, let me know 😉


Tomorrow is THE day!

Saturday 28th Feb
Tomorrow, I take the first step of 100km.
It’s strange how something that looks so simple on paper can carry so much weight.
This isn’t just distance.
This isn’t about ticking off a challenge.
It’s about carrying something I don’t always know how to carry.
It’s everything I don’t always have the words to say.
I don’t know how every kilometre will feel.
I just know that each one will mean something.
I don’t know how this month will unfold.
But I know I need to start.
Some journeys are visible.
Some are carried quietly.
Tomorrow, mine begins. 🤍
Over the next month, I’ll be sharing the journey — the good days, the hard days, and everything in between.
To everyone who has already donated — thank you.
Your support means more than I can explain, and it’s already made this feel very real. 🤍
If you want to be part of it, stick with me 🤍
I’m walking for Sands. #SandsBabyLossCharity
But I’m also walking for myself.

The Start of Healing in Motion

Friday 27th Feb
£25 has already been raised — and I haven’t taken a single step yet. 🤍
That makes this feel real.
All I can say is THANK YOU, that means more than I can explain.
That includes £10 from me.
I made the first donation.
Not for attention — just because it felt right.
If I’m asking people to support this challenge, it only felt right to back it too.
I’m walking for Sands. #SandsBabyLossCharity
But I’m also walking for strength, clarity, and growth.
This challenge means more than just distance.
£100 is the goal.
Let’s see how far we can take this. 🧡💜
https://fundraising.sands.org.uk/fundraisers/ineseamore
If you’d like to be part of this from the very first kilometre 👣 🧡💜

There’s something about seeing it in front of you.

Wednesday 25th Feb

This just came through my letterbox.

Seeing the shirt laid out like this…
it suddenly feels real.

This isn’t just an idea anymore.
It’s happening.

It’s more than 100km.

It’s everything I don’t always say out loud.
Everything I’ve been carrying quietly. 🤍

100km.
One step at a time. 👣

Ready or not — I’m starting. 🧡💜 

Three days until the first step.

Just one week away...

Sunday 22nd Feb
In March, I’m taking on 100km for Sands — and honestly, it’s one of the biggest physical challenges I’ve set myself, and I wanted to do something meaningful. This challenge is deeply personal to me. Important to remember. Important to honour. Important to help others.
That’s 100,000 metres.
A lot of steps.
Probably a few blisters.
100km feels huge right now — but loss feels bigger, it’s nothing compared to what so many families go through.
But it’s all to raise money for an incredible cause supporting families through baby loss and working towards safer maternity care.
If you can donate or share, it would mean so much. Let’s do this 🧡💜
