Story

Running in memory of George Bert Nicholson.

 

In February 2011 our best friends Alana and Wes tragically lost their baby George at 36 weeks. Sands is the charity they have turned to for support.

 

"Sands is an organisation which can offer you support when your baby dies during pregnancy or after birth.

The death of a baby is a devastating experience. The effects of grief can be overwhelming and parents, their families and friends can be left feeling dazed, disorientated, isolated and exhausted.

It can be hard to take in information, to make decisions or to imagine how you are going to cope.

At Sands there are people who understand what it's like because many of us have been through this experience ourselves, and we are here to help offer support and information when you need it."

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now, it's a cause very close to my heart and I'd really like to be able to make a difference.

 

Due to a fantastic responce from all of you i have increased the total i would like to raise from £500 to £3000. Lets hope i have to put it up again very soon.

Thank you all!
