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.

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.

Final 15 done

Saturday 30th May

The kidney infection pretty much ended my chance of ending this running but I wasn't going to finish. I got on the bike at the gym today and got my last 15km in.

Getting active again

Sunday 24th May

After having to take a week off it, due to a kidney infection, I've been getting moving again and clocking aome KMs. I've not done any running yet because my antibiotics cause weakness in the chiller tendons. Last day if them today so I'll hopefully be running again next
