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

I have the privilege to work with amazing people - but for some of them this charity means a huge amount.  I have witnessed first hand the pure heart ache they have had to endure from losing their babies.  I wanted to give something back to them to let them know I care, I want to help in some way and that silently they are in my hearts.

I am therefore running 50km in May for them and every family who have suffered baby loss. 

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.
