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.
I myself lost a baby in 2022 , baby Clementine at nearly 7months pregnant. The little footprint in my display picture is my little girls footprint and proof she was once on this earth. This was and is, the most devastating thing I have ever been through.
I also have some very close friends who have sadly lost babies themselves. So running to support others who have been through the devastating loss of a child is something that is extremely close to my heart.
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

Wednesday 3rd Sep I completed my first 5k run for this challenge today. It was a tough one. First run post illness this year so I’m proud I hit my daily target albeit slower than I would have liked.
