I’m jogging 31 miles in May for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to jogging 31 miles 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.

Jogging for my boy 🦋

Sunday 27th Apr
As many of my older friends will know I had a very traumatic experience when I was 22 weeks pregnant with my little boy Marc-Leslie, I was told at my 20 week scan that he had spinal bifida and hydrocephalus on the brain . Which would mean he would have to rely on me 24/7, we had to make a devastating  and difficult decision ,anybody who has been in those position will know exactly how this feels it’s a no win situation, and although the hospital team gave time the best care they could if it wasn’t for SANDS being at the end of the phone listening to me cry , feelings of
Guilt and shame I honestly don’t know how I would have carried on. It’s been 23 years since my little boy has gone and I’d like to take part in this jogging journey, not only to make me a bit fitter but to also raise awareness for anybody that has had to endure the heartbreak that my family have suffered , please donate if you can , I’m doing this more for awareness and the cause as this is something so personal and close to my heart. There’s never a day goes by where I don’t think of my baby and if medical science were more advanced chances are he’d be here today 🦋x
