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.

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.

Rollercoaster

Friday 30th Aug
My journey to become a mum wasn't easy. I often refer to it as my rollercoaster as that's how it felt emotionally. I went through a large number of miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. I often felt alone and it was hard to talk to others about this as it was hard for them to understand with the best will in the world. I started to stop meeting up with friends as soon as I found out they were pregnant and I have lost friends because of this.
I wish I would have had access to a charity like Sands. Therefore, I have decided to fundraise for this wonderful charity, so that they can help others going through this horrible journey. I would like to raise £150 and appreciate it if you could help me achieve this goal. In September, I will be walking 100km. Thank you in advance for any donations you can make.
