Thank you for visiting our fundraising page in memory of Ged.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: SANDS will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.
17 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth every day in the UK. SANDS are working to ensure that as few families as possible experience this terrible loss.
No donation too small, every penny counts
Many thanks for your support.

Charity Football Match: Garricks XI vs Hardly Athletic. 13th September 2009. Trafford FC: Shawe View.
A truly Fantastic day which raised a staggering £5100.00 for SANDS.
Both teams contested an evenly fought game and put on a great show for the spectators. Unfortunately, only one team could win. The result went down to penalties in which Hardley Athletic came through victorious!! Many thanks to the Ex United Players, David May, Lee Martin and Clayton Blackmore for turning up and supporting the event.
The after match party lived up to all expectations down at the Garricks Head. Jonny Spangles was in fine form and the entertainment went on long into the evening. Thank you to Big Norman and his wife Denise who made the day very special.
A big Thank you to all our friends and family who helped out on the day, without whom this event would not have been possible. A tremendous effort.
Thank you to all our sponsors for your kind donations. The Raffle and Auction raised a huge amount.
Finally, a big thank you to everyone who turned up to support the event. I hope you had a great time. We certainly did!
We are sure the money raised will help comfort and help other families who have been affected by the loss of a baby and help promote research which could help save babies lives.
We are both very lucky and proud to be a part of such a great community. We will never forget Sunday, it was a very special day.
Many thanks.

LONDON MARATHON 26th APRIL 2009
It was tough going but I did it!! Despite stomach cramps and a visit to the St Johns Ambulance tent I managed to complete the Marathon in 4:06. 14 miles in I honestly thought I wouldn't make it.
A huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored me. You're support helped me cross that finish line.
In remembrance of our boy's 2nd Birthday. For you Ged, forever in our Hearts.
Gary.
