I’m running 50km in September for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to running (yes…. RUNNING!) 50km in September for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands is a charity I have had the pleasure of working alongside for many years. They 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.

WEEK 1, DONE 💪🏼

Sunday 7th Sep
11k in 7 days (4 runs) and I’m over the moon to be honest! For many people 11k is a mere warm up run in itself… but to me, it’s the most I’ve ran in a decade and I’m beyond pleased with myself 🙌🏼.  Feeling like I’m well on track to smash the 50k, as the kilometres will undoubtedly increase week on week, as I gain speed and stamina ❤️ 
It’s easier to remain dedicated thanks to your amazing donations… £50 to go to smash the (increased) goal 🙌🏼 thank you ALL 💜 🧡 

Squeezed in the run 💪🏼

Rest day yesterday, but away and super committed, so got it done… not a fan of running on the road though…. Slower pace & less distance as had to dive into the occasional bush/hedge 😂 beautiful sunset for the near death experiences though 🌅 x

SMASHED IT

Tuesday 2nd Sep
Guys…. I cannot believe the generosity and support that has been pouring in while I’ve embarked on this challenge. I’m genuinely touched my how much of a difference we will make ❤️ Today I completed 3.3k… meaning I’m almost 5k in and it’s getting easier already! Considering you’ve all helped me smash the fund raising target so quickly, it only feels right to increase it a little in the hope I can raise even more than I’d ever have hoped! Tripling the goal at the start wouldn’t have crossed my mind, but I believe we can make another £100 in the next 28 days 💪🏼 Let’s do it!!!! Xxx

1st run down!!!
