I’m running 2k a day in January for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to running 2k a day this January 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.

My why

Monday 29th Dec
This January we were supposed to be welcoming a new baby into our world but we had the devastating news that our baby had died and wouldn’t make it earth side this time. The lose of a child/baby is unimaginable until you've been through it. Sands is a truly special and essential charity supporting parents that are going through the unimaginable, it would mean so much to be for any donation big or small.
