Run 2k a Day in February 2026

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

I loathe running... So when my running challenge last February finished I stopped running the second it was over 😅 Now, 11 months later, I've decided to drag my sorry butt out again into the cold and wet to run 2K A DAY throughout February🏃🏼‍♀️ That's 56,000 metres this month. Yuk.
Of course I'm only doing this to support the amazing work that Sands - baby loss charity does to help families in the darkest of times. If you can spare it please follow the link below to donate some of your hard earned pennies 🙏🏼
If you see me huffing my way round the village, give us a wave 👋🏼 And if you see me in a heap on the side of the road, send help 🚨
Rosie & Bear ❤️🐾 xx


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.

The final hurdle...

Monday 23rd Feb
Having completed the distance goal of 56km this month, it's even harder to keep getting out there every day. But that was the challenge and you wonderful, generous people have made it all worthwhile, so let's do this, only 5 days left to go 💪🏼Thank you also to all the people who beep, wave, or give me a thumbs up as you pass us, it really does make a difference and helps to spur me on! ❤️ Cheers also to the abundance of bolshy squirrels who are helping Bear & I keep our speed up...
