Run 2k a Day in February 2026

I’m running 2k a day in Febuary for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to running 2k a day this February 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.

Sands is close to my heart because losing my son shattered my world in a way words will never fully explain. One moment I was a parent with dreams and plans, and the next I was learning how to breathe through a grief so heavy it felt impossible to survive. The silence he left behind was deafening, and the loneliness was unbearable. Sands understands this pain — the lifelong ache of loving a child you cannot hold — and they never minimise it or rush it away. They remind me that my son existed, that he mattered, and that my grief is a reflection of deep, endless love. Supporting Sands is my way of honouring my son, giving meaning to his life, and standing with other parents who are walking the same devastating path, so none of us have to face it alone.
