2026 Run 50k in September

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.

Thank you so so much to everyone who has donated and shared so far! I’m truly humbled by this ❤️ Your generosity so far means that already you have raised enough to provide a full day of bereavement care training for midwives and healthcare professional to help them in supporting families going through pregnancy and baby loss! This is just the beginning! 

Day One!

Hey Everyone! I wouldn’t normally make a post like this (for fear of absolute failure lol) but I have recently signed up to run 50k throughout September to raise money for Sands, a charity supporting people and families affected by pregnancy and baby loss. ❤️

This one means a lot to me personally, having experienced miscarriages myself I know just how heartbreaking and lonely pregnancy loss can feel. It’s one of those things you never really expect to happen to you, and when it does, it can be incredibly difficult to navigate. 

That’s why the work Sands does is so important. They’re there for people facing some of the hardest moments imaginable — offering support, understanding and somewhere to turn when you’re grieving a baby you desperately wanted and loved. ❤️

I’ll be running throughout September, wondering who I think I am to even attempt this, questioning my life choices and counting down every single kilometre! To ensure I am held accountable, I will share my updates and Strava posts to prove I did it 💪🏻

If you’re able to donate, even just a few pounds, I’d be incredibly grateful. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this post would mean the world to me too. ❤️

For the babies we didn’t get to bring home. For the families who carry that loss. And for anyone who has ever felt that heartbreak, thank you 🫶🏻
