I’m running 2k a day in Febuary for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to running 2k a day this February 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.

Why I’m Supporting Sands
Friday 30th JanThere are some things in life you hope you never have to experience. The loss of a baby is one of them.
I have not personally suffered the loss of a child, nor do I know someone close to me who has. But as my wife and I prepare to welcome our baby girl into the world, I’ve found myself thinking deeply about how fragile and precious this time truly is. The joy, the anticipation, the love you feel for a child you haven’t even met yet—it’s overwhelming. And with that comes the realisation of how devastating it must be for parents whose journey ends in heartbreak instead of celebration.
This is why I’m supporting Sands.
Every year, thousands of families experience the unimaginable pain of losing a baby through stillbirth or neonatal death. SANDS exists to support those families—offering compassion, understanding, and practical help during the darkest moments of their lives. They also work tirelessly to fund research, raise awareness, and improve care, with the ultimate goal of reducing the number of babies lost and ensuring parents are never left alone in their grief.
I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. I hope I never have to. But hope alone isn’t enough.
By supporting SANDS, we can:
- Help bereaved parents access the support they need
- Fund vital research to prevent future baby loss
- Improve training and care within maternity and neonatal services
- Break the silence around baby loss and reduce stigma
If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, you are contributing to a future where fewer families have to endure this kind of heartbreak—and where those who do are met with compassion, care, and understanding.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for helping support a cause that matters so deeply.
