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.

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 why

Saturday 23rd Aug

💙 This September, I’m taking on a massive challenge and running 50k over the month in memory of baby Ben, the much loved son of my best friends! 

I’m raising funds for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, who support families through unimaginable loss and work to save babies’ lives.

Every step I take will be for Ben and all the little ones gone too soon. Any donation, big or small, will mean so much. Thank you 💙
