I’m running the length of Marathon for families facing baby loss
I am doing this in memory of my beautiful daughter, Sienna, who is no longer here in my arms but will always be held in my heart.
Nothing can ever take away the love we have for her, or the pain of losing her. Sands were there for me during one of the hardest and darkest times of my life, when I needed support most. They understood when I felt like I couldn’t find the words, and they helped carry me through moments I never thought I could survive.
Sands exist so that no one has to face the heartbreak of baby loss alone. They support families when their world has been turned upside down, train healthcare professionals so care is more compassionate, and fund research so fewer families have to experience this unbearable grief.
In Sienna’s memory, I have committed to completing 26.2 miles for every much-loved baby who is not here today every mile a reminder of love, loss, and the bond that never fades.
If you are able to donate, it would mean more than words can say. Every gift helps Sands continue to be there for families in their darkest moments:
£10 could provide a hand and footprint kit, helping parents create something precious to hold onto
£20 could provide a memory box to safely keep treasured keepsakes of their baby
£35 could answer a call from someone reaching out in the depths of grief
£100 could help ensure hospitals have a Sands volunteer supporting staff and improving bereavement care
Thank you for reading, for remembering Sienna with me, and for helping Sands support families who need them most.
