I’m running 50k in May for families facing baby loss

I'm running 50k in May 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.

In memory of my angel boy Reuben 👼🏽🩵

Friday 1st May
I am taking part in this run to help raise funds for all the little angels that did not make it and for all the families that suffer the loss of losing a baby.

This cause means a lot to me after losing my boy to a late miscarriage at just 16 weeks, charities like this one provided me the help and support I needed and if I can raise a little to help other family’s that go through the same, in memory of my son that would mean the world to me to me.
