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

I’ve committed to running 50k in September for every much-loved baby sadly not here today, including my little Rupert.

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.

Westonbirt 10k

Sunday 7th Sep
Today I took part in the Westonbirt 10k, all around the beautiful arboretum. It poured with rain which clearly motivated me to run faster as I ended up with a new personal record!! 16k down, 35k to go!!

First run done, 5.7km out of 50!

Thanks for all of your donations so far, £100 was my initial target and that will provide 4 families with a memory box, and I’ve already gone past that 😊

Running for Rupert

Friday 29th Aug
I will be running 50k throughout September to raise money for Sands, in memory of my baby boy, Rupert, and all the other babies taken too soon. Sands were a lifeline for Rich and I in the days and weeks after losing Rupert; they provided guidance on the practical things that need doing when you lose a baby, and gave compassionate advice on how to break the news to our daughters. We also attended a local support group run by the charity, which was a lifeline to us for many months. 

I have been running for a little while now after doing couch to 5k with my eldest daughter, but cramming 50k into a month will still be a challenge so please donate a couple of pounds if you are able to, to support this worthy cause and make my aching legs feel like a worthwhile discomfort!!
