Why I am running 50km for Sands
Tuesday 25th AugThis September, I am taking on the challenge of running 50km to raise money for Sands, a charity that means an enormous amount to me personally.
Over the past few years, I’ve found myself reflecting deeply on the impact of losing two of my babies. My second lost baby was almost 20 weeks when she passed away, and I was admitted to hospital a few days later. The care and compassion I received from the nursing team was extraordinary, but one memory from that night has stayed with me.
Because there is no separation in the wards I lay awake for hours listening to women around me giving birth and hearing their babies cry when all I wanted was to hear my own baby crying. It is a feeling I will never forget.
No parent should have to experience the loss of a baby, and no one should have to navigate the devastating grief that follows without the right support.
I am running 50km because I want to turn something so painful in my own life into something positive; raising awareness and funds to help Sands ensure that bereaved parents receive the care, understanding and support they deserve.
If you are able to sponsor me, every donation will help support a cause that is incredibly close to my heart. ❤️
