I’m running the length of Marathon for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to completing 26.2miles 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.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.

£20 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby.

£35 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.

£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.

My reason!

Friday 22nd May
I had my daughter Marnie in January of 2024 when I was just 18 years old. She was a very poorly baby and managed to overcome multiple obstacles until 10th March 2024 when she sadly grew her wings. I am fundraising to help raise awareness about this topic and help save babies lives. I wish there was so much more that could’ve been done for Marnie but unfortunately there wasn’t. I want to help others because I know it’s a very painful thing to go through and we should give every baby the chance they deserve! 🩷🩷
