I’m running 50k in April for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to running 50k in April 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.

Why I'm Running 50k for Sands
Thursday 10th AprThis month I’m running 50k to raise money for Sands, a charity that supports families who experience pregnancy and baby loss
One of the vital services they provide is training midwives to support bereaved parents with care and compassion at an incredibly difficult time. Their training helps midwives guide families through the early decisions and emotions that follow loss, helping them feel less alone.
When we lost our baby, James, we experienced first-hand how important that support is. Our bereavement midwife, Susan, helped us make choices we didn’t feel ready for. She offered a memory box, which I turned down at the time — I think I was still in shock. But she gently encouraged us to allow her to take photographs of James for us to keep safely. I didn’t realise then how much I would need them, but she did. I’m forever grateful for her care and experience.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has already donated. Your generosity is making a real difference, helping to fund services like the training that made such a big impact on our family and so many others.
Every donation, big or small, helps Sands continue their essential work. Thank you for supporting a cause that means so much to me.
