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.

 Including myself and my husbands losses which has left a huge hole in our hearts. My mental health has not been the best throughout this past year and I have faced many challenges from simple day to day life getting up in the morning to getting to work putting that ‘smile’ on my face when all I feel is emptiness loss and heartbreak. Turning to food and drink to combat my anxiety and depression hiding away from the fact that I needed some kind of support but I was in denial to admit that I needed help! Moving forward I’m now in a better place mentally and emotionally I’ve got the help I needed and I am now wanting to make myself feel better and to raise awareness and help others that are sadly going through the exact same pain we did. Every step I take in this sponsorship is a step forward to helping others and a step forward to being proud of doing something positive to a great cause.

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.
