Story

Take on 5K your way this July.

Help us provide comforting Dandelion Bears to children grieving the loss of their baby sibling, while raising vital awareness of pregnancy and baby loss.

You can take part solo for a moment of reflection, join friends or family for a shared challenge, or get your colleagues involved as a team.

Whether you walk your local park, jog along the seafront, explore a new route on holiday, complete your 5K in one day, or break it into smaller distances across the month, every step helps us reach more bereaved families.

By committing to raise a minimum of £150, you’ll help provide vital comfort and support to families and children grieving the loss of a baby, through initiatives like our Dandelion Bears and wider services.

However you choose to dash, you’ll be making a meaningful difference.

Receive your FREE Aching Arms T-shirt and Fundraising pack when you raise your first £20.
