I’m running 50k in May for families facing baby loss

In August 2025, I suffered a ruptured ectopic pregnancy resulting in the death of our baby and emergency surgery to save my life. 

The months following this have been so hard and at times very lonely, particularly as baby and pregnancy loss is such a taboo topic which is often not talked about. 

I am running ‘50k in May ‘ for Sands to ensure everyone affected by the death 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. 

As a non runner , this will be a new challenge for me! Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you, Lauren x

I am writing this with a sweaty face and very sore legs! 
When I signed up for this challenge I was apprehensive about if I could complete it and if I would get any sponsors . 
I am sooo incredibly grateful to everyone of you who has donated to such an amazing cause, which will help families when they need it most. Your lovely messages have kept me going and given me the determination I needed to complete 50KM ✅ 😴 Thank you so so much, Lauren xxx
