Cycling for Sands

My target 200 kms

We are fundraising in loving memory of our son Nathan, for Sands, 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.

We will be cycling 100k in September, mostly with our rainbow baby (Nathan’s baby brother) in a cargo bike or on a child seat on one of our bikes. We will be raising money for Sands whilst challenging the motonormativity that chokes up our lungs, our cities and our planet. Reclaiming space on a (cargo) bike on streets that prioritise vehicular traffic, and as bereaved parents in a world where baby loss is taboo, is a way to embody and enact a more just, compassionate and sustainable future.

Thank you for your support.

New cycling target!

Sunday 6th Sep
We’ve smashed our 100k cycling target in just under a week! It helps that the cargo bike is Theo’s nap-mobile. 🙂😴 We’ve increased our cycling target to 200k — many more family bike rides to look forward to!

16k cycled so far and a new fundraising target!

Wednesday 2nd Sep
It is September now! We cycled 16k yesterday and are looking forward to clocking up more mileage throughout the month. Flying the flag for active travel and breaking the silence around baby loss at the same time!

We have also increased our fundraising target yet again , this time to £2k. Thanks for all the support so far, it means a lot.

One week of fundraising… and a new target!

Saturday 29th Aug
It has just been one week of fundraising so far and we are thrilled to have exceeded our target (which we have increased three times over the week)! Our new target is £1500. Thank you everyone for the generosity, support and solidarity. ♥️

New target: £1200

Thursday 27th Aug
We continue to be touched by and grateful for the outpouring of support and generosity from family, friends and colleagues. We have raised our fundraising target once more. 

Every cargo bike journey with Theo is an opportunity to honour Nathan, normalise family cycling and break the silence around baby loss. Thanks again for all the support and encouragement. ♥️

Increased fundraising target again!

Tuesday 25th Aug
We have nearly hit our increased fundraising target within 24 hours of increasing it! We are raising our ambition and fundraising target yet again, from £450 to £700. Thank you everyone for the support! It means a lot.

Increased fundraising target!

Monday 24th Aug
We are so touched by and grateful for the generosity of and support from family and friends — within 24 hours of creating this page, we already achieved two-thirds of our fundraising target! We have increased our target from £300 to £450. Any more that we can raise for Sands would be great. Local Sands volunteers, also bereaved parents, have held space for us and our grief, making us feel less alone.
