On the darkest of nights, the stars shine brightest  

When a baby dies, every parent leaves their old life behind and begins a journey into what can feel like complete darkness. At Sands we walk with people, to offer support, to shine a starlight of hope and help everyone find a way through. Registrations are now closed for this event.

Distance: 5km or 10km

When: Saturday 2 December. If you can't make that day feel free to complete your Starlight Walk any other day in December.

Where: wherever you like

Walk a Starlight  Walk  on your own or with a loved one.  Stroll through the countryside, march through the town or simply let your feet lead the way as you walk either 5km or 10km for Sands with your lantern,  shining  a light of hope for all those bereaved families in need of support. 

Like starlight itself,  the love for our babies is endless,  and together we will walk through the darkness and find the light.
