I’m running 2k a day in January for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to running 2k a day this January for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Many people may or may not know that my Daughter Chloe is a twin, unfortunately at 17.5 weeks pregnant with my girls my other girl Lily sadly passed.

I do not openly talk about this nor do i talk about it very often as quite obviously it was probably one of the most traumatic times of my life.
i was unsure how to navigate my feelings as id lost my precious Baby but still pregnant with her sister who went on to be born a perfectly healthy baby and is now 19.
I didn't have much support then and there was not charities like this available or if they was i didn't know about them. 
this is my reason for committing to do this 2k a day and raise as much awareness of this fantastic charity at the same time as hopefully raising much needed funds.

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. <3
