I’m running 50k in May for families facing baby loss

I'm challenging myself to move (run/swim)  50k in May for every much-loved and wanted baby sadly not here. 

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.

As many of you know, this is something that we have had to deal with, and wouldn't wish it on anyone. 

 Anything you are able to donate anything it means so much and the help it can offer.


Thank you.

Monday 4th May
May the 4th be with you ! 🫣🤣😅 

Only a 1k walk so far today. Woke up and straight to it, feeling sore and a bit discombobulated, bank holiday but Barney's gone to work. Will try to get back on the treadmill later to gain some more distance. 

In hospital

Sunday 3rd May
Whilst in hospital, I had the most awful experience. It was covid and that didnt help but Barney wasnt able to be with me at any point of my week in hospital as it was in lockdown as the cases of Covid were so high! I had nurses asking insensitve questions, not knowing I had a drainage tube in and leaning on it. And just being so fearfull, scared and alone, with no support that i'd just lost my baby and Barney nearly lost us both. Knowing that if there was some support at the time someone to speak to would have made the world of difference.

Our story.

Sunday 3rd May
Just a snippet at the reason I decided to run. We managed to get an embryo to stick after 5 rounds of IVF, but unfortunately it stuck in the wrong place, I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy and being very poorly. After having wanted this for so long to be in this situation was heart breaking.

3rd May

Sunday 3rd May
Went for a swim today to mix it up, was supprised at what I managed to squeeze in during our family swim.  

2nd May

Saturday 2nd May
