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.

The first run
Thursday 1st Jan
Here goes!
Thursday 18th DecThis January 2026, I’m taking on a personal challenge with a very important purpose: I’ll be running 2km every single day throughout January to raise money for Sands.
Sands does incredible work supporting families who have experienced the heartbreak of losing a baby, and they also fund vital research and improvements in care to help save babies’ lives. Their work touches thousands of families every year, offering compassion, understanding, and practical support at a time when it’s needed most.
Running every day for a month will be challenging—there will be cold mornings, tired legs, and days when motivation is low—but none of that compares to the pain faced by families who have lost a baby. Each 2k run is a small act of commitment, remembrance, and hope.
By fundraising for Sands, I hope to:
- Help improve maternity and neonatal care
- Support bereaved families with counselling, resources, and community
- Raise awareness about baby loss and the importance of open, compassionate conversations
If you’re able to donate, share this challenge, or even join me for a run, your support would mean the world. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps Sands continue their life-saving and life-supporting work.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping me turn miles into meaning. Together, we can help save babies’ lives and ensure that no family faces loss alone.
