Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having only started running at Christmas I am running my first ever 10k! It turns out I've chosen quite a challenging course (beach, sand dunes, hilly coast path....) so I have decided that I probably need a little motivation.....so what better motivation than to run in memory of our precious daughters and raise money for a charity so close to my heart?

North Devon Sands is a small group and our focus is supporting parents, at our monthly support meetings and face to face.  Meeting other parents who have experienced a baby dying is like a life-line. It makes you feel "normal' and less alone in a world that carries on around you, despite your grief.

I'm so very grateful to everyone who supports me in this. It really will go towards supporting bereaved parents and training healthcare professionals in bereavement care, and all the other wonderful things which Sands does.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
