My husband and I lost our daughter Fionnuala in December 2016. Sadly Fionnuala's heart stopped beating and two days later I gave birth to our beautiful sleeping angel. We hope that this will be the start of a number of fundraising efforts for SANDS and SANDS-NI. We've already had great comfort in receiving a SANDS memory box and hope to attend more of the meetings and support groups in the near future. Please help us support a charity that is and will continue to help so many families through very difficult times.

Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, operates across the UK: supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby; working in partnership with health professionals to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care; and promoting improvements in practice and funding research that could help to reduce the loss of babies’ lives. We depend on the amazing energies of our supporters to raise the vital funds that we need to deliver the wide range of services that we offer. #TeamSands
