Sands is the charity speaking up about pregnancy and baby loss, saving babies’ lives and supporting bereaved families. Together, we are saving babies’ lives and improving maternity safety and bereavement care through research, training and campaigning.

Story

<p>On October 20th 2010, my wife, Chloe, and I lost our firstborn son Solomon at birth, which inflicted&nbsp;enough hurt and questions to last our lifetimes. But we are not the only ones - every day in the UK 17 babies are born sleeping. We feel this number is far too high, which is why we are supporting Sands (Stillbirth and neonatal death charity) to help lower this figure and continue to provide other couples with the same invaluable support that we received in our time of need.</p> <p>With my good friend Ross Surey, we have come up with a challenge worthy of your generosity! We will run 5 ultramarathons in 5 consecutive days from the North to the South of Wales. This is 230 miles, meaning an average of 46 miles per day.</p> <p>So please dig deep and help support this event to help remember Solomon in a way that will have a positive impact on other people's lives. With much love and thanks!</p>
