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.

So, it’s time.

Monday 22nd Dec
It would appear it’s time. Time to talk. Few know, most don’t, but between 2023 and 2024 I had 3 miscarriages. Every 6 months, almost like clockwork. At work. At home. In hospital. It has been soul destroying, and it broke me as a person. 
It’s also time to share that due to the trauma surrounding the miscarriages I’ve been diagnosed with OCD and PTSD.  I’ve been slowly building my life back together piece by piece through A LOT of therapy, and a metric **** tonne of support from everyone around me. It’s time to talk about that. 
It’s time to use this pain for something else. Not for awareness - by the time I’d spoken to ten women, 8 had said they had miscarried, too - but for change. 
It’s time to talk about how you’re not guaranteed bereavement leave if you miscarry before 24 weeks. (my first thought when I discovered I’d had my third miscarriage.  “I can’t afford this time off…” )
It’s time to talk about how it takes 3 miscarriages before the NHS will truly investigate why you’re miscarrying. 
It’s time to talk. It’s time to do. It’s time to run.
