Two māmās taking on the Queenstown Half Marathon, raising funds for Sands NZ to support whānau through the heartbreak of baby loss.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Hi, we are Tamara and Ellen, and we are running the Queenstown Half Marathon on 14/11/26 with some pals.

Tam recently upgraded her registration to the Half after what has eventuated to be her and Aidan's 4th pregnancy loss in 12 months, and their 5th in the story of creating their family. A testament to the amazing friend she is, El agreed to join the half, for a laugh, some sore muscles, and to prove just what these strong Māmā's can do!

We are doing it for our dear friends and family members who have also lost babies.

You know who you are and we love you x

We wanting to raise funds for Sands NZ who support individuals and whānau after baby loss.

Please help us to get some funds for this incredible charity.

Running for all those angel babies.
