Sands also launched the Why 17? campaign.

17 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth every day in the UK, over 6,500 babies dying every year.

Each year thousands of devastated parents, grandparents, families and friends are left asking the same question, why?

Through the campaign Sands hopes to raise awareness of these unacceptable levels of baby loss, create a national strategy to reduce the number of babies dying and generate vital funds for research.
