I’m walking 100km in March for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to walking 100km in March to raise funds for this vital charity  

Sands were there as a lifeline for me when my daughter died shortly after birth.  Their support gave me strength and I will never forget.

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.

My nephew Billy was stillborn eighteen years ago and is never forgotten . I often hear elderly ladies recalling their baby loss stories at the end of life and they reveal secret pain and stories often unknown to the wider family . Thankful that this organisation exists and there is better awareness now but still progress to be made . Thank you for sharing your story
