Story

Thanks for visiting this page, and here's a little bit more info about why I'm taking on the challenge of the London Marathon in April, and why Sands - and their work - is so important.

Hopefully you will have already read a bit about me through my main page - www.justgiving.com/teams/warwick - but here's a little more:

The Tunbridge Wells Sands support group has been a tremendous help to Claire and myself, since Alastair was stillborn in June 2011. The meetings enable us to talk with others who have gone through similar experiences, and to realise that, while extremely difficult, life can move forward after such a tragedy. You can read more about Sands on the right of this page, or click www.uk-sands.org to visit their website.

Since going to our local group, we've learnt how Sands also funds vital research into stillbirths and provides training to midwives so that they can give appropriate support to parents. In the UK, 17 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth each day. This is simply too many.

Sands can help make a difference, and your donation will help.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
