I’m walking 100km in September for every much-loved baby sadly not here today. Anything you’re able to donate truly means so much – I’m only £107.6 off my target. Thank you fundraising.sands.org.uk/s/2…

As we approach the end of 2022, I want to say a huge thank you to everybody who works in maternity and neonatal services - your continued hard work and the support you’ve given to women, babies and their families is so appreciated, as well as the support you give each other.
