I’m running 50k in September for families facing baby loss
I'm running 50k in September 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 fewer families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.
Thank you.

50k for Sands
Tuesday 1st SepThis September, I’m taking on a personal challenge that means a huge amount to me — running 50K throughout the month to raise money for Sands, the Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Charity.
I’ve chosen Sands because their work supporting families who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby is incredibly important. Losing a baby is something no parent should ever have to face, and yet sadly, it happens to far too many families.
Throughout September, I’ll be putting one foot in front of the other and aiming to complete 50 kilometres over the course of the month. Some runs will be easier than others, and there will definitely be days when getting out the door feels like a challenge — but knowing that every kilometre is helping raise awareness and money for such an important cause will keep me going.
Sands provides vital support to bereaved parents, families and healthcare professionals. They help families feel less alone during an unimaginable time and work to improve bereavement care and prevent future baby loss.
For me, this challenge is about much more than running 50K. It’s about remembering babies who are no longer here, supporting the families left behind, and helping Sands continue the incredible work they do.
If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, I would be incredibly grateful. Every donation will help Sands continue to provide support to families when they need it most.
And if you can’t donate, simply sharing my challenge or following along with my September runs would mean just as much.
50K. One month. One important cause. ❤️
