Story

This year, I am proud to support our best friends, Ash and Robyn, as they honour the memory of their sons, who they tragically lost too soon.

In August 2023, Ash and Robyn lost their little boy, Jaxx, at just 3 weeks old. By mid-2024, they were expecting again. Tragically, in November 2024, Robyn gave birth to another baby who was born sleeping.

They have been incredible in the face of such adversity, and they want to honour their two boys by giving back to Sands; a charity that continues to support them through such unimaginable heartbreak.

I will be taking part in a challenging 50km walk in the beautiful Lake District in June, alongside Ash, as a step on his journey to climb Kilimanjaro in October 2025.

Sands provide essential support and research for families affected by stillbirth and neonatal death. Your support can make a real difference to the lives of those affected by baby loss, as Sands rely entirely on donations to continue their mission.

I know these are challenging times, but any contribution, no matter how small— even a pound— can make a significant impact on this incredible charity and serve as inspiration for Ash on his journey to Kilimanjaro.

Thank you!
