2026 Walk 100k in September

Help Philippa raise 400!

I’m walking 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.

Hi family and friends,
I'm taking part in the 2026 Walk 100k in September to support Sands, a cause which is close to my heart. My daughter Hannah and her partner Phill sadly lost their baby in 2025, and their love and grace in how they supported each other through such an emotionally difficult time for them both, and for everyone as family and friends, has inspired me to push myself out of my very inactive zone to raise money for Sands.
Please help me in supporting bereaved families and saving babies' lives.

Thank you so much for your support - it is truly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Philippa 💜🫐💜

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.
