Story

In August 2018, our beautiful boys, George and Henry were stillborn and the support, help and advice we received from Sands in those first few weeks (and continue to receive) was vital in allowing us to grieve and move forward. For this reason, I will be completing 310,000 steps throughout October to give a little back and hopefully raise as much as possible for Sands. 

We appreciate the smallest of donations so thank you for donating whatever you can afford! 

Like a lot of charities right now, they are working harder than ever to ensure that bereaved families are receiving the support they need during what is already a difficult time and when families are cut off from their nearest and dearest because of the global pandemic. 

I am part of the team taking on #stepsforsands. I'm lacing up my trainers to complete 310,000 Steps in October to ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. Sands also campaigns for change and supports research so that fewer babies die and fewer families experience the pain of losing a baby.
