My wife and I lost our twin baby boys, Ruadh and Sorley, at 21 weeks of pregnancy. SANDS charity provided things we needed at the time that we couldn't even comprehend. We owe them a lot for this and the support they gave us.

The average weight of a 1 year old boy is 9.6kg. If Ruadh and Sorley survived they would have been 1 on the 16th and 17th of July. I am going to run the Paisley 10km carrying 20kg of weight. I'm going to run with them.

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
