Sophie’s Striders

Run 50k in April 2025

We're running 50k in April for families facing baby loss

We’ve committed to running 50k in April 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.

Thank you to our Sponsors
