On 12th August this year, our beautiful baby boy, Remi, was born asleep at 37 weeks. We were shocked to find out how many other families suffer the devastating loss of a baby during pregnancy or afterwards. The grief of losing Remi has been indescribable. We will be walking the marathon in his memory to fundraise for the work SANDS do around prevention, and supporting bereaved families.

Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, operates across the UK: supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby by 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
