I’m walking 100K in September in memory of my beautiful baby boy Neo-James

Hi my name is kym, I have decided to sign up to and take part in the 100k walk throughout September in memory of my son Neo-James who was sadly born sleeping at home on 16/12/2022 at 18 weeks. Unfortunately, we never got any answers as to why he passed and the support I received, and still do get, is amazing and i will always be appreciative of the work they do, I'll never forget it. Sadly, i know a few friends that have also gone through this heartbreaking journey too, and I just want to say, our angels will never be forgotten.  To be able to give something back to SANDS means the world to me and I am so proud to be part of this. Not only will you all be supporting the charity, you will also be supporting me to as most days it is a struggle to get out the door and face reality. My heart goes out to anyone who sadly has to use this service, I will walk the walk for all our babies xx 

I hope I do you proud Neo-James, mummy loves and misses you baby boy xx 

"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.

I have really enjoyed todays walk, even in the rain it felt good to be out walking. Unfortunately, I didn't reach my target as ive had a few set backs but I'm thrilled with what I did achieve in just a couple of hours. I am really proud of myself as i am a big girl, hardly any motivation, depression kicks my butt and I hide from reality. So to achieve the 50k already. Its absolutely amazing. Walking for you Neo-James 💙💙 xx I couldn't have done this without you all. So thank you so so much, just over £150 raised too, its brilliant 👏 xx
