2026 Run 50k in September

I’m running 50k in September for families facing baby loss

I'm running 50k in September 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 fewer families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

Why I’m running for Sands.

Tuesday 1st Sep

Hello!

So yes, those of you who know me, well… know me! And running is something I do not do. Ever! 😂

So the fact that I’ve decided to take on a running challenge probably comes as a bit of a surprise to anyone who knows me.

But this fundraiser hits much closer to home than I would like, and that makes taking on a challenge like this for Sands feel like the right incentive to get me moving — quite literally!

Sands supports families who have been affected by the devastating loss of a baby, helping them through what can be an incredibly lonely and heartbreaking time. It’s a cause that means a lot to me, and one that I really want to support.

I know there will be days when I’ll question exactly why I thought running was a good idea, and there may be a fair amount of complaining along the way! But knowing that every step is helping to raise money and awareness for Sands will hopefully keep me going.

So, whether you know me and are simply here for the entertainment of watching me attempt to become a runner, or you’d like to support such an important cause, any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean so much to me.

Here’s to sore legs, questionable decisions and hopefully crossing that finish line! 🏃‍♀️❤️

Thank you so much for your support. x
