Hello Everybody,

 On May 26 I will be taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon as part of a four person relay team.  I do not take this rather onerous task lightly at my age,  but feel that I should try to make some contribution to our charity which is:-

 

SANDS Lothian – Stillbirth and Neonatal Deaths. 

 

This is a charity which supports parents  who have suffered the trauma of a still birth  or premature birth and promote research to reduce the loss of babies’ lives. 

 My niece and her husband, who are both  running as part of our team, lost a stillborn child, Oliver,  and my daughter and her husband have lost two premature babies, Chloe and Hope.  Both families were greatly helped by this Charity, hence my reason to try to give back something for their care and understanding at a time of great distress and feeling of loss.

 

If you feel that you could help I would most grateful.  Please, if you can, make a donation via the Just Giving website.  I will keep in touch and inform you of the total amount raised. 

 

Thank you for your contribution.

 David Ballantyne
