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

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

Day 4

Monday 5th Jan
I had the longest day in the world. Then the kids wouldn’t go to bed and sleep until almost 11pm. Fresh hell. But grateful I got to put my kids to bed. So I put on my Forrest Gump shoes even though it was SNOWING outside and off I went… ice skating. I had to run up and down the bus lane because I was a bit dangerous. And it hurt a bit more today. But I did it and I’m proud and I feel great for it. Really helps with the mental too. You don’t think when you run. 

Really grateful for all the donations. Such kind supportive people, every single one of you. I feel lucky. Thanks to Zubair particularly for sharing my page with his charitable friends.

Day 2 and 3

Sunday 4th Jan
It was ICEY! Nearly broke my face a few times. Survived. Woke up day 4 with serious DOMS in my legs and a flatter belly. It’s all good. Very happy with my donations so far. Beautiful kind supportive souls. Love x

Day 1

Thursday 1st Jan
Still here to tell the story. Ran up and down Plymouth grove. It was very ghetto but it physically I was fine. First one though. Luckily mother agreed to watch the children because best believe they would have been coming with me. My son runs like Phoebe out of Friends and my daughter is still in a pram, both of which weight 1000stone. Tomorrow are they in for a surprise and everyday until they return to school/childminder. I already feel sorry for myself. Stay posted to see how my knees are coping tomorrow. Peace x

2k a day

Sunday 21st Dec

This January, I’m running 2km every day to raise money for Sands, a charity that supports anyone affected by baby loss and works to improve care and understanding for families. I’ve been very fortunate to be blessed with two healthy children — a joy that not everyone gets to take home. I have loved ones affected by the loss of their babies and so this challenge is for them too, and for those families alike.

Any donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated. Thank you for supporting this cause ❤️🏃🏻‍♀️
