Story

On October 20th 2010, my husband Simon Baker and I lost our firstborn son Solomon at birth, which inflicted enough hurt and questions to last a lifetime. But we're not the only ones - every day in the UK 15 babies are born sleeping. 

The aftercare that we received from the staff at Yeovil District Hospital was outstanding. The specialist trained staff, memory box and support we received, because of SANDS, will never ever be forgotten. Just like Sol. 

So, please dig deep and help support my rear end to cross that London Marathon finish line and help remember Sol in a way that will have a positive impact on other people's lives. Once again, thank you SANDS and everyone who supports this charity. With big love and thanks! Chloe x
