I’m rowing 100K in September for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to walking 100K in September 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.

Trading Footsteps for Erg: Why I’m Rowing 100km This September for Sands

Tuesday 1st Sep

While my teammates will be tackling the distance on their feet, I’ve decided to do things a little differently. I’ll be swapping the walking shoes for the Erg and rowing the entire 100km. It’s going to be a fun challenge on the machine, but it’s nothing compared to the emotional weight our colleague and her family have carried. Every stroke on the erg will be dedicated to them, and to keeping the conversation going around baby loss.

I’ll be sharing updates right here on how the meters are ticking down, the blisters, the milestones, and hopefully hitting our fundraising goals. Thank you so much to everyone supporting us, your generosity and kind words mean the world to our team.

If you'd like to follow along or contribute, every bit helps drive us forward. Let's get this 100km started!
