I’m jogging 31 miles in May for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to jogging 31 miles 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.

The Reason
Thursday 1st May Its difficult to put into words how losing a child really effects you, its even more difficult to watch someone you love go through this pain and trauma and not having anyway to make it better. The silent moments are deafening and in circumstances where you lose a child there are a lot of silent moments.For me and Maddie the sadness is still very much a huge part of our daily lives, we find comfort in our friends and family who share their own personal experiences of losing a child however the amount of support we have received shows just how many people have suffered the loss of a child.
There seems to be limited support for individuals and couples who suffer the loss of a child, however SANDS is working hard to change this narrative and we want to help.
Most people will know how much I hate running, and team mates will be more than familiar with my lack of desire to run on a pitch, so what better way to raise money, make Jess Run!!!
The goal is 31 miles in May, but together me and Maddie are hoping to smash this target and raise some money in the memory of our little one.
If you can support us by a donation or even meeting us for a run and dragging me along, we can’t thank you enough.
