Story

Hi everyone,

On April 6th 2025, I’ll be taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise money for SANDS, a charity that’s become incredibly important to me. In the last few years, two families very close to me have gone through the unimaginable heartbreak of losing their babies through stillbirth. Seeing them go through such pain has really brought home just how crucial support is during these tough times.

SANDS offers that support. They’re there for families going through the worst possible experience, providing a lifeline of emotional and practical help. They also fund vital research to prevent stillbirths and neonatal deaths, aiming to reduce the number of families facing this tragedy.

I’m running to do my bit in helping SANDS continue their incredible work. If you can spare anything, it would mean the world to me—and to the families who rely on this charity. Every little bit helps.

Thank you so much for your support!

Kurt
