Fundraising for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity
Story
On 6th November 2022 my beautiful nephew Charlie was born, forever sleeping.
We as a family will never fully understand why this happened. It has devastated my lovely sister and brother-in-law, Jo & Rick. A cruel twist of ‘science gone wrong’ lead to the loss of their darling Charlie, when his heart stopped beating at 34 weeks.

In the lead up to 6 months since Charlie's birthday, I am aiming to complete as many miles as I can throughout April (totalling multiple marathons) as a tribute to Charlie. This may not be much to an avid runner, but it's a big challenge for me personally.
I do this in memory of Charlie, but also to raise awareness for Sands - an amazing charity that have offered Jo & Rick, and many like them, such valuable support through the darkest of times. If I can raise some money for the charity too, even better!
Thank you so much for any donation, whether it's £1 or £100 ❤️

Every time I look up to the sky, I think of Charlie; our shining star, our guardian angel. Every rainbow, every sunset, every glistening star. I promise to remember you always, and love you forever. Sleep tight Charlie my little love, Auntie Lizi loves you so much 👼🏼✨
