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
👣 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.

👣 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 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.

👣 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 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
👣 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
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. Share
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. 👣

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

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
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. 👣 🧡 💜 Share
👣 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. 🤍

Day 8
Sunday 8th Mar
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. 🤍

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

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.

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

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 😉

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.
