Story
We have a big challenge this year! We aim to raise 10k in 2015 in memory of our darling Ava who we love and miss every day and we need everyone's help to do it!
Ava's auntie Kimi, her cousin Hannah and Ava's Daddy Ian are leading Ava's Sweet Dreams Team in a number of challenges and events this year, from road races to climbing the highest mountains in the UK. It's going to be tough (especially given our athletic ability). The team is made up of Ava's family and our friends, anyone is welcome to join in and help us with this cause!

Please help us raise this money for SANDS who were such a support to us when we lost Ava and who continue to conduct much needed research into the causes of stillbirth and neonatal death.
