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.

Run 2k a day in January 2026

Thursday 1st Jan
Losing a baby/ miscarrying at any stage of life does not get enough awareness, understanding or empathy let alone funding to support.

A little run each day, often inconvenient, shows what challenges feel like every day for the rest of the life of a bereaved parent.

A teeny donation can make a difference if made by more people.

Wishing that no one is ever affected by this never answered sadness.

Thank you to my Sponsors
