We lost our beautiful son, Hugo 10 years ago this year. We wish to raise money for Sands who do such great work in this incredibly tough area.

Sands exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support. Babies are dying every day. Currently in the UK, 13 families a day suffer the heartbreak of losing their baby before, during or shortly after birth. Thats around 4,500 babies a year. And an estimated 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage. These numbers are shocking and show the scale of the problem .Currently, far too many babies die without scientists, doctors, midwives, or their own parents understanding why. Thats why we believe research is vital in improving our understanding of how to save babies lives and using that evidence to drive changes in maternity policy and practice.For more than 40 years, Sands has been here for anyone affected by pregnancy and baby loss to offer understanding and comfort through its Freephone helpline, mobile app, online community and resources
