I’m walking 100K in September for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to walking 100K in September 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.

I did it!
Wednesday 16th SepI did it. 💙 100K for Sands, for Harry.
And I don’t think there could have been a more meaningful day to take those final steps.
Four years ago today was the last time I held my beautiful boy. The last time I held Harry’s little hand in mine. I would give absolutely anything to hold that hand again.
Today is always going to be one of the hardest days of the year, but this year I wanted to do something with all of that love and all of that grief. So today, I walked the final kilometres of my 100K for Sands.
Every kilometre has been for Harry. Through his 4th birthday, through the tears, the memories and the days when putting one foot in front of the other has felt harder than anyone could know.
I can’t hold his hand today, but I carried him with me every single step.
100K completed. For Sands. For every family who knows this unimaginable pain. And most of all, for my beautiful Harry.
Four years since I last held your hand, sweetheart. I’ll carry you with me for every step I take for the rest of my life. 💙🦋

70km done. Just 30km to go. 💙
Monday 7th SepWhen I signed up to walk 100km for Sands this September, it felt like such a huge challenge. But here I am, over halfway and with just 30km left to walk for our beautiful Harry.
Every step has been for him.
This Saturday, Harry should be turning 4. A whole four years old. And as his birthday gets closer, I find myself wondering more and more about the little boy he would be now — what he would look like, what he would love, the things he would say and the person he would be becoming.
I can’t buy him birthday presents or plan his party. I can’t watch him blow out four candles or see the excitement on his face. But I can do this for him.
So I’ll keep walking. Through the aching legs, the tiredness and all the emotions that September brings.
30km left for my boy. 💙
For Harry. For his 4th birthday. For every baby who should be here. And for Sands, so they can continue supporting families when their world changes forever.
70km down. 30km to go. Always for you, Harry. 💙
