Next October, I will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon for SANDS, a charity that holds deep personal meaning for me and for many people close to my heart. The run is more than just a challenge for me, it is a tribute to the babies who are no longer with us and a show of support for the families who carry their memory every day. Every mile I run helps SANDS continue its vital work in support and research. It is an absolute privilege to run with purpose. Any help through donation or a share of this post is highly appreciated. Thank you x
