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

Read Becky’s story:

Earlier this year, I experienced the heartbreak of losing my baby through miscarriage. There are no words that can truly describe what it feels like to lose a baby you had already imagined a future with. The excitement, the plans, the love, the little life you had started to picture — suddenly gone.

I should be counting down the months, imagining who my baby would have been and preparing for their arrival. Instead, I’m learning how to carry the loss of someone I never got the chance to meet, but who I will always love and remember.

Pregnancy loss can feel incredibly lonely. Sometimes the world carries on as normal, while inside, you are grieving a whole future that no longer exists. My baby mattered. My pregnancy mattered. And the loss matters too.

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 fewer families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

I'm running 50k in September for every much-loved baby sadly not here today. I am taking part in this to support Becky and everybody who has been, is going through or may go through this heartbreaking time in their life.

Thank you.
