Raising money for sands in aid of Chantelle Green
Charity Event in Memory of Chantelle Green to mark what would have been her 30th Birthday.

I am reaching out to ask for your kind support for a very special charity event I am hosting on 31st October 2026, in memory of my beautiful daughter, Chantelle, who was sadly born sleeping 30 years ago.

This year marks what would have been Chantelle’s 30th birthday, and to honour her memory, I am holding a charity event to raise funds for Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society).

Sands is a charity that is incredibly close to my heart. They supported me during one of the most heartbreaking and difficult times of my life, and they continue to provide invaluable support to families who experience the devastating loss of a baby. Their work helps parents and families navigate a lifetime of grief, ensuring that no one has to face such an unimaginable loss alone.

I am hoping to make this event as successful as possible and raise as much money as I can for this wonderful charity.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and will help Sands continue to support families who desperately need them.

For me, this event is not only about raising money; it is about remembering Chantelle, celebrating the life she should have had, and turning an incredibly painful experience into something that can help other families.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter and for considering supporting this very special cause. Your kindness and generosity would mean more to me and my family than I can put into words.

With heartfelt thanks,

Nicola Green

Running for Rupert
Hi, I'm running the Great North Run in memory of my son Rupert, who we lost during pregnancy in January 2025. Rupert was deeply loved and losing him brought a level of heartbreak that is difficult to put into words.

It is still a loss we feel daily, but the support we had from family, friends and professionals got us through things. I'm running the Great North Run to raise money for Sands, a UK based charity which offers support for those affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby. It supports families across the entirety of the UK through bereavement support, training healthcare professionals and funding research studies.

Any support will help other families get through the unimaginable pain of losing a child.

Lylas Three Peak Challenge 03-10-26
A week before she was due to enter the world, our beautiful Lyla sadly passed away in her mummy’s tummy. No words can truly describe the heartbreak our family has experienced. Through the most unimaginable loss, both her mum, Jade, and dad, Jamie, have shown incredible strength, courage and love. Watching them navigate this heartbreak with such resilience has been truly inspiring, and we are so proud of them.

Although we never got the chance to watch Lyla grow up, she will always be loved, remembered, and forever be a part of our family.

To help raise awareness, on October 3rd 2026, alongside Lyla’s Dad and some of our old football team, we are attempting the 3 Peaks Challenge in Lyla’s memory. Every step we take is for her, and to help raise money for SANDS who support families who experience the unimaginable pain of stillbirth and baby loss. No family should have to face this journey alone, and the support these charities provide can make an enormous difference during the darkest of times.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean the world to me and my family. If you can’t donate, simply sharing this page would help us spread awareness and support this important cause.

Thank you for your kindness, your support, and for helping us keep Lyla’s memory alive. She will always be loved, always be missed, and never be forgotten.

Skydive for SANDS in memory of baby Reiley
Hi, my name is Matthew and I’m taking part in a skydive from 15,000 feet to raise money for SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society) in memory of my one and only beautiful daughter Reiley. The skydive will take place on 16th October 2026, which would’ve been her first birthday. I am hoping to raise £1000 to donate, in order to help SANDS provide initial care and support to families who have sadly had to endure stillbirth or neonatal death of a newborn. Any donation, no matter how small would be greatly appreciated.

100% of the funds raised on this page will automatically be donated directly to SANDS. All costs for the skydive have been paid for by myself prior to the creation of this page.

Thankyou for taking the time to read. :)

Lets make Reiley proud

Reach for the sky
On the 22nd of May, our lives changed forever when we lost our precious baby boy, Woody, at just 18 weeks pregnant. No words could ever truly describe the heartbreak, shock, and emptiness that comes with losing a baby you already loved so deeply. From the moment we found out about Woody, we dreamed about the future we would share with him — the cuddles, the laughter, watching him grow, seeing him with his family, and all the memories we would have made together. Even though his time with us was far too short, he will always be loved, always be remembered, and will forever be a huge part of our family.

The pain of baby loss is something no parent ever imagines having to face, and navigating life after losing Woody has been unimaginably difficult. There are days where the grief feels overwhelming, and days where we are simply trying to understand how the world keeps moving after losing someone so deeply wanted and loved. Woody may have only spent a short time in our arms and hearts, but he changed us forever. He mattered, he was loved beyond words, and he will always be our little boy.

In honour of Woody, and to keep his memory alive, we are taking on the challenge of completing Tough Mudder on July 25th 2026 in support of Sands. Sands is a charity that supports families facing the devastating loss of a baby, offering comfort, understanding, and support during the darkest moments while also raising awareness and funding research to help save babies’ lives. We want to do something for Woody, to honour his memory, and to help other families who may sadly face the same heartbreak.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will mean the world to us. Your support will not only help an incredible charity continue the work they do for grieving families, but it will also help us carry Woody’s name forward in a meaningful way. If you are unable to donate, simply sharing our fundraiser and keeping Woody in your thoughts means more than we could ever say. Thank you for supporting us, remembering our beautiful baby boy, and helping us turn some of our pain into something that may bring comfort and hope to others.

Elijah Raymond Gatrell
My Name is Lawrence and this is a charity very close to my heart as me and my partner lost our first born son Elijah in 2020 and it was the worst time of our lives. Our whole world came crashing down overnight. Without the help and support of this charity through the aftercare and everything they did i dont think we would of got thru it. So any donations big our small will go along way to helping other familys going thru what we did. And will make a massive difference in helping them see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

The target i have set is the date we lost Elijah so it would mean alot,

if the donations reached that target or even passed it!
