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.

Why I’m Taking on the Run 2K a Day January Challenge 🧡

Tuesday 16th Dec

This January, I’m challenging myself to do something a little outside my comfort zone — running 2 kilometres every single day as part of the Run 2K a Day January Challenge, in support of SANDS.


Like many people, I often set good intentions at the start of the year, but this time I wanted to do something that truly matters. This challenge isn’t just about fitness or ticking off kilometres; it’s about using each run to support families who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a baby and helping to fund vital work that saves babies’ lives.



Why I Chose to Support SANDS



SANDS supports anyone affected by baby loss and works tirelessly to improve maternity and neonatal care. Baby loss affects so many families, yet it’s something that is still difficult to talk about. By supporting SANDS, I hope to help raise awareness, encourage open conversations, and contribute to the compassionate support families deserve during the most heartbreaking times.


This cause is deeply important to me, and knowing that every step I take can help make a difference gives this challenge real purpose.



The Challenge Ahead



From 1st to 31st January, I’ll be running at least 2K every day — whatever the weather, however I’m feeling. Some days will be tough, especially during dark, cold January mornings, but I’ll keep going knowing I’m not doing this just for myself.


Every run is a small act of commitment, and together they add up to something powerful.



How You Can Help



If you’re able to support me, I’d be incredibly grateful. You can help by:


  • 💛 Making a donation (every amount truly helps)
  • 📣 Sharing my fundraising page with others
  • 🏃‍♀️ Sending encouragement or joining me for a run



Your support will motivate me on the harder days and help SANDS continue their life-changing work.



Thank You



Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give. Knowing that my daily runs could help families feel less alone makes every kilometre worth it.


Here’s to making January count — 2K at a time 🏃‍♂️🧡
