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

💛 This January, I’m challenging myself to run 2km every day to raise money for SANDS, a charity that provides support, care, and hope to families affected by baby loss. Their work changes lives, and I want to do my part to help them continue offering comfort when it’s needed most.

Some days will be easier than others, but every kilometre is for a family who deserves compassion, understanding, and support. If you’re able to donate, share, or cheer me on, it truly means the world.

Thank you for standing with me. 💛

Run 31 of 31 for SANDS ✅

Saturday 31st Jan
Run 31/31… DONE. The final push for SANDS 💪🏼✨ I wrapped it up with a 4km finish tonight and honestly didn’t expect the emotions to hit like that. Tears for the reasons I started… and tears of pure pride for how far I’ve come. It hasn’t been easy — injuries, setbacks, plenty of pain — but reigniting my fitness journey for the incredible #SANDS charity has meant everything. Huge thank you to everyone who’s supported me this past month. Not just the donations, but the encouragement, the messages, the belief. It’s carried me. 🫶🏼
