Sharon and her son Samuel were recently interviewed by BBC South, sharing their story and the heart behind the charity Footprints Baby Loss.
In this article, they talk about Sam running the London Marathon 2026 in memory of Charlie and Joshua, and why the charity was set up – to ensure that families facing the loss of twins or triplets receive the specialist support they need.

Following on from the previous feature, a different BBC article has now been published, again including Sharon and her son Samuel.
The article shares three powerful marathon stories, and features a photograph of the running bib Samuel wore – a special reminder of why he chose to run.
Moments like this help raise awareness and ensure more families know that support is available.

Dan Muscutt’s London Marathon 2026 story has been shared in the Racing Post, highlighting his incredible challenge and the reason behind it.
Dan ran an amazing 3 hours and 3 minutes in memory of his daughter, Winnie, as part of Team Footprints helping to raise awareness of baby loss within the racing community and beyond.
We are so grateful for Dan, and for the support shown across the racing world – it means so much to the families we support.
Seeing Samuel, Dan, Jodie and Lewis take on 26.2 miles with such strength and determination was incredibly emotional and inspiring. Every step they took was in memory, in love and in honour of the babies who will never be forgotten.
We are so proud of everything they achieved – not just crossing the finish line, but raising awareness, starting important conversations, and supporting families through their grief.
Thank you to everyone who cheered, donated, and followed their journey. Your support means the world.
