Story

On 18th July this year, the unthinkable happened and we lost our beautiful daughter Delilah Rae Hill after a brave battle in NICU. When Delilah passed, we made a promise to continue her legacy and support as many families as possible going through the same as us.

On Saturday 14th October, myself, Ian and our friends at CrossFit Wigan are taking part in Sands Ribbon Run during Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October, leaving from the gym. Please support us as we take on 5, 10 or 15km in support of Sands, helping them to continue to build a world where more babies survive and more families receive the happy ending they deserve. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in by running it, walking it or jogging it.

By sponsoring us, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives. 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.

Thank you 🩷
