2026 November Swimming Challenge

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.

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 and provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals so that fewer babies die and fewer families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

Tuesday 3rd Nov
Hi All, Just wanted to share with you that I've done my first swim and managed to do 900 meters today. I know it doesn't sound like much but I'm still proud of myself considering that I've exercised in over 5 months. Hopefully it won't be too painful to move tomorrow as I'm planning on doing another swim. Thank you all for your donations and support

Good cause 👏

Hi All,
As most of you know, we had a horrible year. It's been heartbreaking what happened to us and what is happening to other families out there 💔 As this is so close to our heart I have decided to do the November swim challenge for 5k. It won't be easy as I never done anything like this plus I'm out of shape but I’ve committed to this cause. Hope everyone will be happy to donate to this cause. 
Thank you so much for your support in what has been a difficult time for us. 
First swim on Tuesday 3/11.
Lot's of love ❤️ 
Jo
