I’m swimming in November for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to swimming this November for every much-loved baby sadly not here today, including my friends Natasha and Matt's son, Lucas.

Their daughter, Niamh and her friend Jasime are joining me on this challenge and they are excellent swimmers. 

As many of my friends know, I have only returned to the pool recently after surgery and I think I'll be able to manage 2k during November. 

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.
