I’m jogging 31 miles in May

I’ve committed to jogging 31 miles in May 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.

Running for Love: In Memory and Support of Baby Loss Families

This year, I’m lacing up my running shoes for a cause that is incredibly close to my heart — I’m running in support of SANDS a charity that supports families who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a baby.

I’m running in honour of my cousin and her family , who lost their precious baby far too soon. Watching them walk through that pain with strength and grace has been humbling and heartbreaking. No one should ever have to experience the loss of a child, but when they do, they should never feel alone.

SANDS offers that lifeline — a space for families to grieve, to find support, and to honour the memory of their babies with dignity and love. The work they do helps turn grief into connection, and sorrow into something that carries a glimmer of hope.

Every mile I run is in memory of baby Jude who couldn’t stay, and in solidarity with all the parents who carry their children in their hearts instead of their arms. It’s also a way of saying to my cousin: your baby mattered, and always will.

If you’re able to donate, every pound goes toward helping families receive the compassionate care and support they deserve. And if you’ve experienced this kind of loss, please know — your pain is seen, your love is real, and your baby will never be forgotten.

Thank you for reading, for supporting, and for remembering with us.

With love,
Sam

Hi girls, Katie has been so moved and comforted by everyone’s heartfelt donations and words for Jude and is especially grateful to you for choosing SANDS to raise money and awareness for such a special cause and something now very close to her heart. The depth of Katie, Paddy & the family’s grief has been palpable, the feelings of deep pain, emptiness, sadness and sheer disbelief at losing our baby Jude who was so beautiful and perfect, I can only believe some babies were born to be angels. Love Carole, Jude’s Mimi always and forever ❤️❤️❤️ xxx
