Run 2k a Day in February 2026

Help Nicky raise 500!

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

I’ve committed to running 2k a day this February 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.

14th Jan - my running history

Wednesday 14th Jan
I started walking 10k in spring 2025 to get fitter. By October I was feeling fit and motivated by my lovely stepdaughter, Laura, and my great friend,  Lynda, I decided to start c25k.
It was very hard but I was quickly hooked.
Yesterday I went for my second outdoor run, im now even more hooked.
Ive bought a garmin, upgraded the treadmill (the first one broke under warranty) and I'm booked in for a running shoe fitting on Saturday. 

Ive been looking for a challenge and when I saw Sands I jumped at it. Many years ago I had 2 miscarriages. They were dreadful experiences. My 2 gripes were the way I was treated in the hospital and the fact that it was considered unimportant, to me it was the end of the world.

I went on to have 3 wonderful boys, now fabulous young men who I love beyond measure. Mike has been my great supporter and encourager!
