I’m running 2k a day in January for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to running 2k a day this January 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.

My Updates

Still running!

Thursday 22nd Jan
I haven’t then very good at updating but the running has still been happening every day! I’m definitely getting faster and fitter and maybe starting to understand how people become runners… 😅

Thanks to all you lovely people, we have once again smashed another goal! Over £400 raised for this incredible charity is more than I had very hoped for when I first signed up for this challenge, thank you so much, it is appreciated more than you know! ❤️

Day 13 ✅

Tuesday 13th Jan
I took a few days off from posting but the runs have still been happening behind the scenes. Some slower, some faster, but all done! 

Thank you to everyone who has supported me this far and for every donation towards @sandscharity.

If you are able to donate, like or share this post so that we can raise as much as possible for this amazing charity I, along with every family Sands has supported, would be so grateful ❤️

Day 10 ✅

Saturday 10th Jan
I actually made it outside for my run today! It is still incredibly icy, so impossible to maintain any kind of pace, but it felt good to be outside 😊

Day 9 ✅

Friday 9th Jan
It was HARD to get motivated today 😴 it was another treadmill run tonight but I actually felt the best I’ve felt so far, I ran 2k, walked for a bit, and then ran another 2k even faster! 🤯 I’m genuinely so surprised at how much I’m enjoying it, seeing and feeling the progress is so rewarding. Made even better by the fact that it’s all for such a good cause! 
Thank you again to everyone who has donated, liked or shared any of my posts, I appreciate you all so much! 💖

Day 8 ✅

Thursday 8th Jan
There weren’t enough hours in the day today, it was dark by the time I got home and  it’s still far too icy to risk running in the dark, so I was forced to take to the treadmill again. I completely surprised myself though and got my fastest time yet! I’ve a 1.5mins faster than my previous best time! 🏃‍♀️

Day 7 ⛸️

Wednesday 7th Jan
It was a hairy one today! Everywhere is still covered in ice but I couldn’t face a second day on the treadmill, so I chanced it! It wasn’t the fastest time but I didn’t fall over and it was the first time I’ve actually run the whole way with no walk breaks (except a few steps so I didn’t go flying on the ice, so I’ll take it! 🎉

Day 6 🎉

Tuesday 6th Jan
Only 6 days in and we’ve already smashed 2 goals! Thank you so much for all of your support. It means so much, not only to me, but every family that @sandscharity has supported and will continue to be able to support thanks to your generous donations!

It is sheet ice outside at the moment, so I was forced to opt for a treadmill run today, which I already find much harder but to add to it, the log burner was lit! Indoor treadmill run in front of a fire? 0/10 do not recommend 🥵 Post run treat? 10/10! 👌🏼

Next goal £400!!

Day 5

Monday 5th Jan
If I thought yesterday was cold, today was Baltic! No photos today because I wasn’t stopping long enough to catch one 🥶 Another wee personal best today, I may eat my words soon enough but, so far, I’m rather enjoying this wee challenge! 

I’m only £45 off of my £350 target! Thank you for every like, share and donation towards this vital charity, it is appreciated more than you know ❤️

Day 4

Sunday 4th Jan
It was a snowy one today and a personal best, pretty sure it was just because I wanted to get out for the cold as quickly as possible though, it was freezing!! I definitely find running outside, even in the snow, much easier than on the treadmill. 

Thank you again to everyone who has donated towards helping @sandscharity ensure everyone who has been affected by the loss of a baby has the support they need. 

Day 2!

Friday 2nd Jan
Day 2 of running 2km every day in January for Sands complete! It was an icy one today, might have been better in ice skates 😬 
Thank you to everyone who has already donated, thanks to you I smashed my original fundraising goal on day one! I appreciate every like, share comment, and donation, every little helps! 

Next goal is £350, lets raise as much as possible to help Sands create a world where fewer babies die 💖

Thank you!

Thursday 1st Jan
Only one day in and you have already helped me smash my £200 goal! I can’t thank everyone who has very generously donated, it means to so much to me and so many others. Guess I’ll have to up the target! 

I did my first run today and, I knew I wasn’t very fit and have never been much of a runner, but oh my goodness I’m even less fit than I thought! It was very windy and cold but a great way to blow away the cobwebs and kick off the New Year. It took me 14mins and 50secs today, hopefully I’ll be able to bring that down throughout the month but I will keep you updated! 

Thanks again for all of your support, it really does mean the world!
