I’m running 50k in May for families facing baby loss

I'm running 50k in May 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.

Holding On Without Holding You

Saturday 2nd May
I lost my baby, and everything feels different now.
There was a time when my days were filled with quiet excitement and hope for what was to come. I imagined a future that felt so real, so close. And then, suddenly, it was gone.
It’s hard to explain this kind of loss. It’s not just the absence of a baby—it’s the loss of dreams, plans, and a love that had already begun to grow. The world keeps moving, but mine feels like it’s standing still.
Some moments are heavier than others. Sometimes it hits me out of nowhere, and other times it’s just a quiet ache in the background. I’m learning that grief doesn’t follow a straight line—it comes and goes in its own time.
I don’t have the right words for all of it yet. I just know that I loved my baby, and I always will.
