I’m taking part in Sands Starlight Walk

On 7th November 2026, I will be taking part in the Bristol Sands Starlight Walk for the 5th time. ❤️

Every year, I take part in memory of my beautiful daughter, May Jessica Paton, who was born sleeping at 41+1 weeks on 24th July 2020. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her, and taking part in the Starlight Walk gives me the chance to walk in her memory, keep her name alive and raise awareness for the families who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a baby.

This year feels particularly special because, for the first time, I will be bringing her little brother, Alex, with me 🌈💙

Alex is our rainbow baby, and having him beside me as I walk for his big sister will be incredibly emotional. He will never get to meet May, but she will always be a part of our family, and I want him to grow up knowing about the sister who came before him and how deeply she is loved.

Bristol Sands provides invaluable support to families facing the devastating loss of a baby, helping them through some of the darkest moments of their lives.

If you are able to sponsor me, no matter how small the donation, I would be incredibly grateful. Every penny helps Bristol Sands continue to support bereaved families.

For May. Always 🤍🦋

Thank you for supporting me, remembering May with me, and helping me make this year's walk extra special. ❤️
