I’m running 50k in April for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to running 50k in April 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 last push!
Sunday 27th Apr We are so close to raising £1000. This past week has been rough with it still being the holidays. However, I've got those kilometres in and introduced parkrun to my Brother-in-law. I'm taking it as a success. Despite this, I'm so glad I only have 3 days left 🤣 Share
Week 3 - slowing down but still going
Tuesday 22nd Apr So the third week has been and gone and it's been tough. My kids are on Easter holidays so I'm on full mum duty so finding those spare moments to run has been more difficult. Despite this I got another personal best at parkrun and I've been slowly chipping away at the kilometres (mostly on our dusty treadmill). This week I was approached by a man whilst wearing my Sands tshirt during parkrun and he told me his story of using Sands. He then thanked me for what I was doing and it made me smile the rest of the way round. This charity really does help people when they need it most, and I'm so proud of what I'm doing. Share
Week 2 - not given up yet
Monday 14th Apr 14 days have passed. I've run over 60km, 3 parkruns, 2 PBs, the furthest down the canal I've ever been. The last 2 weeks have been so wonderful as I have achieved so much on a personal level. I'm also at just over £700. The goal for £1000 by the end of April is definitely in sight. The support from everyone has been amazing and the fact everyone is so willing to give their spare change to a brilliant charity, shows I surround myself with some incredible people. 15 days to go. Let's go. Share
Week 1 - how's it going?
Tuesday 8th Apr So my first week is done. In that week I have run the furthest I have ever run, ran in sunshine, bought a wanky running vest and ran in one of my favourite cities. Starting to get a niggle in my right hip and left knee so need to be careful over the next few days. I can't believe the overwhelming support I'm getting and how much money we collectively are raising for a fantastic charity. Let's hope week 2 is just as successful! Share
So why?
Sunday 23rd Mar Losing a child is something no parent should ever go through at any stage. Having friends who have lost children, babies and having a miscarriage myself a few years ago, I understand how important charities like these are. If you can give anything to help support grieving families, it would genuinely be amazing. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
