I’m running 50k in September for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to running 50k in September for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.
After spending 3 weeks in the NICU with Ríordán we met lots of other mummies and daddies in a similar situation. We shared stories and tea in the hospital canteens between visits to the wards. Unfortunately some of those parents were not as lucky as us and didn't get to take their babies home 💔. I cannot imagine their pain. I'd love to help support a charity that can be a light for so many in the darkest of days 🕯️.
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.
£25 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby
£36.02 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.
£98.37 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.
Thank you.

13th Sept - Dungannon parkrun
Saturday 13th Sep First parkrun! Definitely a bit hiller than I was expecting but happy with my time of 33 mins. It was nice change running without the pram and not on the treadmill. That takes me to 30k, only 20k to go! 🙌🏻 Share
8th sept - buggy club
Monday 8th Sep A beautiful sunny Monday in Belfast ☀️ Riordan slept the whole way there and around in the pram. 5k done including some hill sprints so a good start to this week. Hoping to make it past 25k by Friday 🤞🏼😅 Share
4th Sep- buggy club in Belfast
Thursday 4th Sep Met up with the lovely mums and babies at buggy club in Belfast. A quick 30 mins around the athletics track and some stair sprints were sore enough after Tuesday's 5k. Advice on blisters welcome! 3.5k in the bag and a long awaited rest day tomorrow 🫠 Share
2nd Sep done - hills were HARD!
Tuesday 2nd Sep Thankfully everything logged ok today. A very hilly 4.7k loop around the local roads and grateful for a dry day ☀️Thank you everyone for your donations so far!
1st Sept 🙌🏻 2.6k... sort of
Monday 1st Sep Well that's the first day done, dropped kids off to nursery and got to the treadmill for Riordan's nap. 2.6k According to the treadmill but my Fitbit only recorded 1.6k... slightly heartbroken 😅 might have to head to Dungannon Park tomorrow with the buggy to make sure the milage logs properly. Today just happy to get some numbers on the chart! ✅ ShareThank you to my Sponsors
