Lucy & Alex

Walk 100K in March 2025

Our Story

When we met in 2013, we didn’t think that by 2025 both of us would’ve suffer the great loss of our sons. We’ve committed to walking 100K in March for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

With Lucy in Scotland and Alex in England we will be walking this 100k together from our separate locations, hoping to fit in some of our 100k together in person ❤️

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 to us. 

Lucy’s story: 

Archie was born back in November 2021 at just 20 weeks. What was meant to have been an exciting time getting to see our baby at our 20 week scan, instead was the opposite and ended up being the most heart shattering experience. We were told our baby was extremely poorly & that he wouldn’t survive. 4 days later I delivered our baby boy & as perfect as he was, he was destined to be an angel in the sky instead of here on earth.

Alex’s story: 

Mateo was born 18/07/2024, a beautiful boy born at 25 weeks in Spain whilst I was on holiday. Unfortunately, he passed just 24 hours after being born due to a brain bleed. The journey to getting mateo home to England to give him a send off he deserved was such a gruelling process, we are so grateful for those who helped us during that time. 

Without the help and support that SANDS offers, I am not quite sure where either of us would be today. We are devoted to raising money to such a great charity to help mums out there like us. Thank you!

We're walking 100K in September for families facing baby loss
