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

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

I lost two babies while in my early twenties, it was the hardest time of my life. Although more than 20 years ago, the heartbreak is just the same.

It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I decided to name them as I believe it will help with healing and remembering them as my children, even though I never got to meet them. I chose Ethan, as it is in the middle of my name, and then I chose Faith as my own faith has got me through the darkest of days.

While I have not directly used Sands, their cause it one which is so close to my heart and their work helps other bereaved parents and families.

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.
