April Jogging Challenge

I’ve committed to the April Jogging Challenge for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to the April Jogging Challenge 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.

Running 45km in April for Sands

This April, I’ve set myself a challenge to run 45 kilometres — not just for fitness, but for something that means a lot to me and my family.

Over the past year, my wife and I have been through a difficult time that has changed how we see the world. It’s something that has affected us deeply, and like many people, we’ve had to find our own ways to process it and keep moving forward.

For me, running has become a big part of that.

What started as a way to clear my head has turned into something much more positive. It’s given me structure, focus, and a way to work through both the good days and the harder ones. Each run is a reminder that progress — physically and mentally — is possible, even when things feel tough.

That’s why I’ve decided to take on this challenge in support of Sands, a charity that is very close to us.

Sands supports anyone affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby, and works to improve care and research so that fewer families have to go through the same experience. The support they offer can make a real difference during some of the hardest moments in people’s lives.

Throughout April, I’ll be running a total of 45km — every step taken with purpose, and for something bigger than myself.

If you’re able to support, any donation (big or small) would mean a lot. And if not, sharing this page is just as appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for being part of the journey.
