I am taking part in the Adidas Silverstone half marathon to raise money for SANDS as it is a charity that is very close to my heart and they need your help to raise vital funds so that they can continue with the amazing work that they do.

I am dedicating this run to my brother Steven Stones who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Steven Stones (21/12/78 - 03/04/79)

I would be most grateful if you could donate whatever you can afford to spare because your donation will help to support grieving families as well as help fund researching that will help reduce the number of deaths.

Sadly, the death of a baby is not a rare tragedy: around 15 babies died before, during or soon after birth every day in the UK alone in 2015.

Thank you,
Robert Stones

Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, operates across the UK: supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby; working in partnership with health professionals to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care; and promoting improvements in practice and funding research that could help to reduce the loss of babies’ lives. We depend on the amazing energies of our supporters to raise the vital funds that we need to deliver the wide range of services that we offer. #TeamSands
