Story

14 babies die before, during or shortly after birth every day in the UK. I'm doing #Challenge14 this January and February to help save babies' lives. #Challenge15 was created two years ago to challenge the appalling fact that 15 babies died each day. But thanks to fundraisers like me, supporting the work Sands does, Sands has played a crucial role in helping reduce the number of babies dying each day to 14.This new year I am part of something amazing. I'm taking on #Challenge14 and making this number matter.

After Marcus was diagnosed with HLHS and other heart complications following my 20 week scan, he was sadly born stillborn at 23 weeks. In memory of Marcus, I will be challenging myself to complete 14 different workouts challenges either at the gym or outside between January and February to raise money for Sands charity.  

I know that the start of the year can be a period where we may struggle with finances after Christmas and the New Year, but if you could even spare a small amount of money to donate towards this amazing charity I would be really grateful, anything to continue to raise money and help those families in need during those awful moments following the lose of their child.

Thankyou!
