Fundraising for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity
Story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!!
i have set up this website in memory of my baby boy callum who was born premature and died, and to help raise money for Sands.
Sands is a stillbirth and neonatal death charity that was founded in 1978.It was set up by a small group of bereaved parents devastated by the death of their babies and in particular by what they felt at the time was a complete lack of acknowledgement and understanding of the significance and impact of their loss.
Incredibly in the UK today, in spite of medical advances, many parents continue to have their lives turned upside down by the death of their baby. 17 babies a day are stillborn or die within the first twenty eight days of life.
At Sands our mission is to:
- support anyone affected by the death of a baby;
- work with health professionals to improve the quality of care and services provided to bereaved parents and their families;
- promote changes in antenatal practice and fund research that could help to reduce the loss of babies' lives.
Sands is determined to meet the growing need for our support services. With your help we believe we can also prevent more babies from dying!!!
please help support sands by donating! Even just a small amount wil make a difference!!
thankyou so much for your help
