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.

Tuesday 30th Dec
I never thought I would be writing a blog like this, but here I am — running for a baby loss charity that holds a very special place in my heart.


I have experienced the loss of my babies, a pain that never truly leaves you. It changes who you are, how you see the world, and how you carry love and grief at the same time. Some days are heavier than others, but the love for my babies is always there.


This run is my way of honouring them. Every step I take is for the babies who couldn’t stay, and for the parents who know this heartbreak too. I hope by Running it turn’s my grief into something meaningful.


The charity I’m supporting helps families through baby loss by offering support, understanding, and compassion during the darkest moments. No one should have to go through this alone, and their work makes such a difference to so many lives.


If you’re able to donate, share this, or simply take a moment to remember the babies gone too soon, I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you for supporting me, and for helping keep their memories alive.


I’ll be carrying my babies with me every step of the way.
