I’m running 2k a day in January for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to running 2k a day this January 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.

I mixed it up a bit today, by fighting my way through the busy gym to a treadmill. Different surroundings but still 2km done 💪

Day 12 ✅

Monday 12th Jan

I found myself singing to the tune of Kings Of Leon...... ooooooooh oh ooohhhhh my calves are on fire! Must drink more water on days I am at school. Those of you who work in a classroom know this is a struggle 🤣

Sunday 11th Jan

Day 10 ✅

Saturday 10th Jan

I decided to go for a lakeside run today, there was ice, slush, boggy mud, but it was also glorious ☀️

Day 9 ✅

Friday 9th Jan

Icy cold feet from going through snow and puddles, but I wasn't going to let the weather be an excuse to not get it done. Thank you everyone for all of your generous support xx

Day 8 ✅

Thursday 8th Jan

With the upcoming forecast looking questionable, I decided to do my run on my lunch break today. I am glad I did, as it's really lashing it down with rain now. Hopefully I can find a way to run tomorrow xx

Day 7 ✅

Wednesday 7th Jan

Another day, another 2km. First week..... completed 💞

Day 6 ✅

Tuesday 6th Jan

A bit of a slushy one today, but overall it was alright. Bring in day 7 🙌

Day 5

Monday 5th Jan

A snowy one today. I went up to the canal and ran along the path, which wasn't as icy! Slow and steady won the race. And it was lovely and sunny ☀️

Day 4

Sunday 4th Jan

It's dark, icy, very cold, I am still mildly hungover, my knee hurts, but I got it done 💞

Day 3

Saturday 3rd Jan

So, to save me breaking my neck on the pavements today, I decided to go to the park and run on the grass. It turns out, running on long snowy grass is hard, and my calves hurt. But onwards and upwards! Thank you so much for your support xx

Day 2

Friday 2nd Jan

Today I thought I would get up early and get it done, which I did, not realising it was an ice rink outside. I think my 7 years living in ski resorts helped me out a lot xx

Day 1

Thursday 1st Jan

First run of my challenge completed! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far. I am overwhelmed by your generosity. If anyone wants to join me for a 2k one day, lemme know xx

Running for all the angel babies 💞

Sunday 28th Dec

I never thought I would be in the position to need support from a charity like sands. But unfortunately just over a year ago, my own baby angel joined the sky.

I have seen so many people I love have to go through this heart breaking experience, that truly lives with you forever.

I want to raise money to help all those who have been through the trauma myself and my loved ones have been through. The work baby loss charities do, is truly amazing and very much needed xxx
