I’m swimming in November for families facing baby loss
I’ve committed to swimming this November 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.

Why I’m doing this:
Saturday 11th OctIn 2020, I lost my baby. It was the start of Covid, a time when the world felt still, and everything changed in an instant. It was raw, it was heartbreaking, and it’s something I carry with me every single day.
You don’t ever “move on” from baby loss, you learn to live around it. The love never fades, it just takes a different shape. Some days it feels heavy, other days it gives me strength. Especially this time of year when I know she’d be starting school, it feels even heavier
SANDS helped me through some of the hardest moments of my life offering compassion, understanding, and a community that reminded me I wasn’t alone.
So this November, I’m swimming 10 kilometres in their honour, for my daughter, and for every parent who knows this pain.
At the start of October, I challenged myself to see how far I could go. In just ten days, I’ve already swum 11km so I know I can do this.
Let’s see how far I can go! Any donations welcome.
