I’m walking 100K in March for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to walking 100K in March 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, 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.

Saturday 1st Mar
Every day in the UK 13 babies die before, during or shortly after birth. At least 15% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. 

If you’ve not suffered through this yourself you most likely know someone who has. Around us our friends and family could be grieving a loss right now before they even had the chance to celebrate their pregnancy. 

Through the month of March, I’ll be fundraising for the pregnancy and infant loss charity Sands. 

Sands works to understand where and why babies die and why some women and babies are more at risk than others. They also offer bereavement support and practical advice on how to support grieving parents. 

I will post some of this advice during this month and I hope you will take some time to consider how you can be a good friend to anyone you know grieving (whether it’s recent or not).
