I’m running 30K in September for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to run 30K 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.

Why am I doing this?

Thursday 29th Aug
Ugh, I don't even want to write this, because I don't even want to think about. But I suppose that's probably why I have been moved to take part in this fund - and awareness - raiser for Sands. I had a miscarriage in 2015. I know it's incredibly common, but it's not talked about, and there is very little support out there. It's a weird, silent, inexplicably painful, oddly shame filled experience. Because it's not talked about. So there we go. I'm running 30km in September for Sands. I'm a terrible runner at the best of times, and pneumonia & sepsis last year have not helped me! But I'll give it a shot. I hope I can do it. My baby would have been 8 years old this June. Time helps but it doesn't heal, I'll always be sad about the baby that never was.

Thank you to my Sponsors
