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.

💙 50K for David — 10 Years, Never Forgotten

Thursday 20th Aug

Our 50K September Challenge 🏃‍♀️💙

This September, me and my son are taking on a challenge that means a lot to us — running 50K throughout September to raise money for Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society). 💙

Sands is a charity that is very close to our hearts because my sister and brother-in-law sadly lost their beautiful baby boy, David, my nephew, who was born sleeping. 💙

This September marks 10 years since we lost David, and we wanted to do something special in his memory while raising as much as we possibly can for a charity that supports families going through the unimaginable loss of a baby.

For me personally, this is also a huge challenge. I’m still very new to running, and I never imagined I’d be setting myself a goal of running 50K in one month! 😂🏃‍♀️ But having my son by my side makes it something we can take on together.

We’ll be running throughout September, one kilometre at a time, and we’d absolutely love your support. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will mean so much to us and will help Sands continue supporting families when they need it most.

50K for Sands. 💙

10 years on, he will never be forgotten. 🩵
50K to challenge ourselves. 🏃‍♀️

If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And if you can’t, sharing our fundraiser would mean just as much.

Let’s see if we can smash our 50K and raise as much as possible in David’s memory. 💙🏃‍♀️
