I’m walking 100K in March for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to walking 100K in March 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 doing this

Monday 2nd Mar
One of the most powerful experiences a person can have is the birth of their child.
Another, far less spoken about, is the loss of one.

When a baby is lost, the focus is rightly on the mother. But fathers carry it too. Quietly, most of the time. Often without the language for what’s happening inside.

There isn’t always space to fall apart when your role becomes “be strong.”

As a Black man, that role is familiar to me. We hold it down for others. We endure. But there are not many places where our softness is held with the same care.

This happened to me many years ago. I’ve mostly carried it privately. When a friend suggested I do this walk for Sands, I hesitated. Not because it doesn’t matter, but because it does.

Grief doesn’t disappear. It settles in you. It changes as you do, and over time, you learn to live alongside it.

This walk feels like a step forward. Not to erase what happened, but to honour it properly.

If you’d like to support the cause or walk in solidarity with families who have experienced baby loss, I’d be grateful.
