Story

Take on #challenge15 today!!

15 babies die before, during or shortly after birth every day in the UK. We need your help to save families from this tragedy.

We are rolling out #challenge15 this January to raise £15,000. Whether you are a cyclist or runner, jogger or a plodder, you can help us provide the support and services needed for anyone affected by the death of a baby.

But to do that, we really need your help. The type of challenge you choose can be as unique as you are – serious or fun, high profile or low key, it’s up to you. #challenge15 allows you the freedom to take part in your own style and we look forward to seeing a wide variety of different events taking place all over the country. 

Sands is asking everyone to get involved to commit to raising £150 – so if you ask 10 people to sponsor you just £1 a mile you’ve already reached your target. So this January dust off your trainers and get your 2018 off to an incredible start. You can make a difference.

Thank you for helping to make a real difference today.
