Run 2k a Day in February 2026

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.

Halfway there

Sunday 15th Feb
Just over the halfway mark. Some days the runs get easier but I’m feeling very grateful for everyone who has donated to a great cause and very generous from everyone 

Running hurts

Saturday 7th Feb
Outdoor running might have to slow down as shin splints and calf is hurting a lot compared than with running on the treadmill. 

Thank you so much to all sponsors it’s a great case and very overwhelming that people want to donate to it

Upped the target

Thursday 5th Feb
I have decided to up the target of the month to 100K overall instead of the 56km as want to push myself and to get to target. 

Sometimes listening to the greifcast podcast can help just hear other people’s discussions whilst doing the runs 

First run done

Sunday 1st Feb
First one done after work this morning and I found out always better to round up when updating the states on the page as my 3.48km run now only says 3. Want to try get to 5km by the end the month in the same time it took me to do the first run. 

The target of £250 will then be able to send 10 families a bereavement memory box or supply 25 family with an initial therapy session after they are going through a horrific time. 

The day before

Saturday 31st Jan
Hi, 

I am not one for doing any cardio but am very committed to getting this challenge completed with at least 2KM run each day for this month. Thank you for any support for a great cause and only give why you can
