I’m taking part in Sands Starlight Walk

I’m taking part in the Sands Starlight Walk to support families affected by the loss of a baby, and to help bring light in the darkest of times.

Every day, 13 babies in the UK die before, during or shortly after birth. Sands works tirelessly to change this, funding research, supporting bereaved families, and striving for a world where more babies survive and every family receives the care and compassion they need.

By sponsoring me, you’ll be helping Sands continue this vital work—offering hope, understanding and support, and creating a lasting legacy in memory of every baby who has died.

Starlight Walk brings people together under the night sky to remember, reflect and walk in honour of their babies, while raising funds for Sands. If you’d like to take part, you can sign up here:
http://www.fundraising.sands.org.uk/starlight-walk. Events take place across the UK, or you can walk virtually wherever you are.

On the darkest nights, the stars shine brightest.

Thank you for helping keep that light shining.

Cruze and Pandora legacy

Saturday 3rd Oct

💙🩷👣 OUR SANDS WALK FOR CRUZE & PANDORA 👣🩷💙

Me, Peter and all of our children — Summer, Lewis, Charlie, Pixie, Blu, Sonny, Bonnie, Gypsy & Ocean — are going to be doing a very special Sands walk together in memory of our beautiful babies, Cruze & Pandora. ❤️

We’ll be setting off from our home in Sunnyside, walking all the way to The Highwayman in Whickham, which is 2.46 miles, and then turning around and walking the whole way back home again.

👣 2.46 miles there
👣 2.46 miles back
❤️ 4.92 MILES altogether!

And we’re doing every single step together as a family and in memory of Cruze & Pandora.

Some of our little legs might find it harder than others 😂❤️, but we’ll take our time, stick together and get each other through it.

There will be something incredibly special about seeing all of our children walking alongside me and Peter for their baby brother and sister. 💙🩷

Cruze & Pandora won’t be walking beside us where we can see them, but they’ll be the reason behind every single step we take. 👣

Nearly 5 miles for our babies.

For Cruze. 💙
For Pandora. 🩷
For every baby who should be here. 👣

They were here. They mattered. And their legacy continues. ❤️
