Marlee Jean 🩷 I’m running 50k in September for families facing baby loss

Throughout September, I’m joining a group of us taking on a 50K running challenge to raise money for Sands 🤍

This is a cause that has become incredibly close to my heart. Our friends Ella and Rick, sadly lost their beautiful baby girl, Marlee Jean, at 38 weeks. Marlee was born sleeping on 18th June 2026, and I’ll be doing every one of these kilometres with her very much in my thoughts.

Watching someone I care about go through something so completely heartbreaking has made me want to do something, however small, to help. Sands provides such important support to families following the loss of a baby, as well as funding research, training healthcare professionals and working towards preventing future baby deaths.

So, throughout September, I’ll be getting those 50K in for Marlee, and for all the other much-loved babies who should be here today 🤍

If anyone would like to donate, absolutely anything would be so appreciated and will help Sands continue the incredible work they do.

Thank you so much for supporting us and, most importantly, for helping us do something positive in Marlee’s memory xxx

Marlee Jean 🩷

Tuesday 1st Sep

Throughout September, a group of us are taking on a 50K running challenge to raise money for Sands, in memory of every much-loved baby who is sadly not here today.

Sands supports families affected by the loss of a baby, providing vital support through some of the most heartbreaking and difficult times imaginable. They also campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and fund research to help prevent future baby deaths.

This challenge is particularly close to our hearts. Our friends, Ella & Rick, sadly lost their beautiful baby girl, Marlee Jean, at 38 weeks. Marlee was born sleeping on 18th June 2026, and we are taking on this challenge in her memory, as well as in memory of all the babies who are so deeply loved and missed.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help Sands continue to support families when they need it most.

Thank you so much for supporting us and helping us raise as much as we can for Sands. xxx
