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

I’ve committed to running 50k in September 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.

First ever parkrun

Saturday 27th Sep
Technically my second, as I did one unrecorded in January 2020. A few days later and China started reporting an unusual respiratory virus affecting patients…. Needless to say, my running fairly swiftly dropped off. 

Dare I say I even enjoyed it a little today? I made it round, setting myself little targets to run to and pushing myself not to walk until I got there. Taylor Swift and Gina G got me through some of the more challenging moments! 

Not much further to go, and although I’ve extended my own person deadline by a few days to make up for my illness a few weeks ago, I’m still pretty close to hitting the original target in September. 

Second run done

Sunday 21st Sep
Another very slow 5 km in the bag. This one was accompanied by a very enthusiastic three-year-old… Well enthusiastic for the first 10 m anyway! Following that she basically had to be dragged along and eventually into the buggy. Pushing 20 kg of toddler along while while trying to run is no joke, but I’m very grateful to be able to run with both of my healthy babies. Please do you consider donating to SANDS to help them to keep more families and babies together and prevent other families from going through baby loss.
