2026 Run 50k in September

I’m running 50k in September for families facing baby loss

I'm running 50k in September 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 fewer families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

Achilles-gate

Tuesday 22nd Sep
Thank you for the donations 💚 particularly with Andy Burnham's announcement today.

I've been in a lot of pain with my Achilles, so I've rested (made a bit worse at a wedding on Saturday) but it's back to tolerable. I have a strap on it and I've been trying to elevate it when resting.
I've sat down and planned out the rest of the km I have left and I'm giving myself an extra day, so I will complete my challenge on October 1st. 1) because I started on the 2nd of September, not the 1st and 2) the rest has set me back. 
I'm also going to walk the remaining part as I'm worried about my Achilles popping.
So, here's to the last week! I WILL DO IT. 
I'm determined. 

Half way

Tuesday 15th Sep
I've hit halfway today but I'm at the point I've accepted I'm going to have to walk  a bit and not solely run. My last 2 runs have been painful and I've had to walk intermittently. My calf and right ankle are causing me issues, my back is sore and my ademyosis has kicked off meaning my tummy is swollen, sore across my c section scar and it's painful when running...... But I will do this! 

I used a back brace today which helped both my back and stomach. 

My aim is to get 4km done by the weekend before I'm off to a destination wedding, then try and smash the last 20km little by little. 

15k down

Thursday 10th Sep
So, I've managed 15k so far. My last run I had a problem with my right calf and ankle, so hoping it's all good for Saturday. Hoping to get to 20k on Saturday! I'm absolutely terrible, but I'm pushing and I'm getting there!
