Walk 100k in March 2026

I’m walking 100K in March for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to walking 100K in March for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

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.

Thank you.

Jess Alice

Wednesday 18th Feb
I'm doing this walk in the memory of our daughter Jessica Alice who we said goodbye to in April 2014. She had a rare lethal form of dwarfism- Thanatophoric dysplasia type 1 .  This will be a challenge fitness wise as I have a chronic pain condition coccydynia....but I will complete it. Sands do a fabulous job supporting families and hope my small contribution will help some when in need.

Thank you to my Sponsors
