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.

In Memory of Baby Gallagher - Due Jan 2026

Sunday 18th Jan

The 19th January marks the due date that wasn’t meant to be. 

Baby loss is painful. Grief is exhausting and it’s incredibly tough to pretend to be ok because you have people who rely on you, a job that needs to be done, the overwhelming pressure to not be the one who brings down the mood for your friends, family and colleagues. This has been the toughest experience of my life and it has changed me in so many ways. Over the festive season, during family celebrations, watching friends hit their pregnancy milestones, these have all been painful reminders of what Chris and I have lost. The lack of available support to parents after a trauma of this nature is horrendous. Raising money for Sands will help to provide much needed support for those who are enduring their worst nightmare. At a time when I should have been preparing to give birth, I’m instead looking for ways to distract myself, heal myself and do what I can so other don’t feel as truly lost as I have over the last few months. 

Even a small sponsorship donation will make a much needed difference to ensuring that others don’t have to navigate this devastating experience alone.
