In the UK alone 17 babies die either during the birth or shortly afterwards per day.  June is SANDS awareness month and the theme is 17.  Sands is a charity close to both Allison and myself hearts, therefore we are going to do a 17 mile walk around Whalsay, we would be really grateful if you would like to sponsor us not only in memory of our boys but in memory of all the babies born sleeping.

Sands has a nationwide group of local networks run by bereaved parents to support anyone affected by the loss of a baby. My local group, Aberdeen Sands is part of this network and 100% of your donations will be used to support their work. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Sands will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 25% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you. The Gift Aid is used to support Sands work across the UK".
