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.

4 Reasons Why I'm walking this September.......

Thursday 11th Sep
Hi All,

Not sure who will actually take the time to read this - but never mind! It's all good.

I'm waling 100k in September to show solidarity with all those people going through miscarriage and baby loss.

The work that Sands do is immeasurable in terms of supporting people through what is the hardest part of trying to become and being a parent. Losing a child during pregnancy or very soon after birth are traumatic at best and devestating at worst. My wife and I have been through it, perhaps more times than we should have. Each time a search for answers to questions without answers. Guilt, Anger, Frustration..... not knowing the right thing to do to support your partner, not know the right words to try and bring at least some comfort. Hurting beyond pain.

That's why I'm walking. To support people struggling with the same thing we've endured. To show they're not alone. To allow for more research, more support and more love to be shared with those struggling to make sense of a situation without any sense.

One love.

Si
