My 4th Sands Bristol Starlight Walk 2024

I’m taking part in Sands Starlight Walk as I want to help those affected by the loss of a baby to find the light in the dark.

My daughter, May, was born stillborn on 24th July 2020 at 41+1 weeks weighing 7lbs. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and I instantly feel deeply in love. The pain I felt that day was indescribable, and still to this day it has not left me. I have had to learn to live alongside my grief. I want to do anything I can to help prevent others feeling this pain, and the Sands charity helps do exactly that!

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.
