I’m running 2k a day in Febuary for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to running 2k a day this February 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.

Day 28 run ✔️
Saturday 28th Feb Day 28✔️🏃♀️🙌 Today I completed my final run for the Sands February Challenge. This journey has been so much more than 28 runs; it’s been a long-overdue path toward finding strength in sadness and stepping out into the light.

Our story isn’t a sad one to hide, but a story of love and purpose. Thank you all for supporting me and my family, and for helping us keep the memory of Lewis alive. We are never alone.
