This will be my 1st marathon and I really wanted to dedicate my run to an important and great charity. They have personally helped myself and my wife through our own heartbreak.

I would like to raise awareness of the great work that they do and also raise as much as possible to help fund their amazing support.

Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, operates across the UK: supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby; working in partnership with health professionals to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care; and promoting improvements in practice and funding research that could help to reduce the loss of babies’ lives.

We depend on the amazing energies of our supporters to raise the vital funds that we need to deliver the wide range of services that we offer. #TeamSands
