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

I'm running 50k in May for the babies that left footprints on my heart.

Believe it or not we all know someone who has lost a baby, some more than one. Some of us just don't know it as it's not something that is talked about. If you know me, then maybe I am your someone. 1 in 4 women experience this type of loss, thats 25%!

These babies grew their wings far too soon, yet live on with us every day. They will never be forgotten.

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.
