Story

October 2014 our life changed forever. 

We went to the hospital on the 7th October as Corinne started to develop some pain. At 21.30 we were told that Isaac had a healthy heart beat but to stay in for monitoring and for an ultrasound the next day. However, at 04.30 on the 8th October Corinne's waters broke and Isaac was born asleep at 07.01. 

SANDS have been extremely supportive and they have helped us to pick ourselves back up. Your donations will help SANDS provide support to other families who have suffered with the loss a baby. They also promote research to reduce the loss of babies.

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.

***UPDATE***

After signing up for a couple of other activities. I've decided to incorporate this for SANDS to hopefully get a bit more awareness and funds. As you may already know, I have run the Leeds Half Marathon earlier this year and cycled 30 Miles in an organised event. I have now decided to add a few more events before the Marathon so that I'll hopefully be in really good condition (or a broken man) by the time the Marathon comes.

30 Mile Bike Ride. 7th June.

Ben Nevis Climb. 10.7 Miles. 14th July
