One Step at a Time: My 100km Walk for Baby Loss Awareness

This March, I’ve set myself a personal challenge: to walk 100 kilometres over the course of the month in support of sands, a charity that supports families affected by baby loss and pregnancy loss.

For me, this is a cause that is very close to my heart. In 2023, I experienced the loss of a baby, and like many families who go through this, it changed me in ways that are hard to put into words. Baby loss is something that so many people experience, yet it is still not always talked about openly.

That’s one of the reasons why I wanted to do something to raise awareness and support a charity that helps so many bereaved families.

Sands provides incredible support to parents and families who are navigating the heartbreak of losing a baby. They also work to improve maternity safety and provide resources for anyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss. Their work makes such an important difference to so many people.

As part of my fundraising challenge, I’ll be walking 100km during the month of March — roughly 3.2km a day. It might not sound huge, but committing to getting out and walking every day has been really important for me and turning those walks into something that can help others feels really meaningful.

If you feel able to support me, any donation – big or small – would mean so much. Everything raised will go to Sands to help them continue the incredible work they do supporting bereaved families.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and for any support you can give. 💛
