Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I decided to run the Bath 1/2 marathon sometime ago; having thought about a great cause to run for I decided on SANDS. This charity provides counselling for families who lose babies, they also carry out research into the cause of deaths on young/unborn children.

This charity is obviously close to my heart and I want to raise as much money as possible in memory of Stan; and to assist other families should they find themselves in the same boat as me and Lara.

About the Charity I am raising money for: Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, is an organisation that offers support when a baby dies during pregnancy or after birth.

Sands, was founded in 1978 by a small group of bereaved parents devastated by the death of their babies and in particular by what they felt was a complete lack of acknowledgement and understanding of the significance and impact of their loss.

Over the past 25 years the charity has supported many thousands of families whose babies have died, offering emotional support, comfort and practical help. Sands has worked tirelessly with health professionals to revolutionise the care bereaved families receive in hospital. Sands has fundamentally changed the way in which bereaved parents and their babies are cared for.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Sands gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now and thank you for your support!
