I’m taking part in Sands Starlight Walk

This will be my fourth year taking part in this very special Starlight walk in Edinburgh for my twin who died at 13 weeks gestation. I have always enjoyed the walk and wanted to raise awareness again for womb twin survivors and the impact of their twin dying during pregnancy or shortly after birth and how this can have a significant impact on a survivor’s mental health and self-concept.

I walk for my twin brother Rick but also for all babies who have died prematurely. If you would like me to write your loved one’s name on my lantern, please do get in touch. 

Please support me in anyway you can, as it is for such a valuable cause. I appreciate your thoughts and generosity in this cause. 💗💙

Every day 13 babies die before, during or shortly after birth. I am raising funds to help Sands continue to build a world where more babies survive, and more families receive the happy ending they deserve.  

Please sponsor me and help Sands create a legacy of hope and comfort, showing the world how much every baby is loved.

Starlight Walk is a sponsored walk where hundreds of people come together to walk under the stars to remember their babies and raise funds for Sands. If you’d like to join me on this challenge, you can sign up here http://www.fundraising.sands.org.uk/starlight-walk Starlight Walk events take place across the UK or you could choose to take part virtually at a location of your choice.

On the darkest of nights, the stars shine the brightest.
