I’m running 2k a day in January for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to running 2k a day this January 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.

Our reason - Magnus
Monday 29th DecThe Pride will be taking part in this challenge in honour of Magnus Hooper-West. On 21 September 2021, Magnus was born sleeping at 38 weeks, and as expectant mums we were faced with the unimaginable.
Since then, SANDS – the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity – has been an invaluable source of support to us both. Abbie now also volunteers as a befriender for the charity, supporting other families through their own journeys of loss.
SANDS does not only focus on supporting bereaved parents; a significant part of its work is dedicated to vital research into the causes of stillbirth and neonatal death. This research is already making a difference, with the number of stillbirths and neonatal deaths in the UK reducing this year from 15 to 13 per day. However, there is still so much more to be done.
By supporting The Pride in this challenge, you are helping to honour Magnus’s memory and support the lifesaving work of SANDS. Thank you for standing with us.
