I’m walking 100km in March for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to walking 100km 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.

My reason for taking part
Tuesday 27th Feb 5yrs ago this March, we suffered an early miscarriage with our much longed for 2nd baby. The loss was devastating at the time and it took a toll on me mentally and physically. The passage of time doesn't stop the what ifs or stop me wishing we'd had the chance to meet them.We have been blessed with another child since, but I still wonder what our lost child would have looked like and who they would have been.
Since the miscarriage I've become aware of how common baby loss at all stages of pregnancy is among friends, colleagues and relatives as well as the impact of stillbirths. What I've learnt is that the support offered to the parents can make all the difference, after the loss of a baby.
This March I'm walking 100km for Sands, in memory of our lost little one, to help raise funds for Sands to help support other parents through difficult times.
