Paddy ☘️💚
We sadly lost our baby Paddy Kieran McCarthy halfway through our pregnancy after he was diagnosed with severe spina bifida earlier this week. To honor his memory and support other families facing similar heartbreak, we will be walking 20km from Exmouth to Sidmouth on 11th October 2025.
We’re raising funds for Sands to help provide comfort, care, and support to families affected by baby loss. Your donation means the world to us and to all those who need it most.
Thank you for joining us in remembering Paddy and making a difference
We’re taking part in Sands Ribbon Run
We're taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.
Sands exists to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support.
By sponsoring us, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives.
£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.
£20 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby.
£35 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.
£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.
Thank you to our Sponsors
