12 Days of Christmas: Gary Jenkins
Gary Jenkins is aiming to run the 2012 London Marathon in April to raise funds for SANDS.
17 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth every day in the UK. Sands provide support when a baby dies during pregnancy or after birth, both to the parents and family of the child.
Gary describes the loss of his daughter Niamh at 20 weeks as one of the toughest times for his family, and those who have experienced that loss will understand how hard it can be. Sands is there to support people during these times, to improve care levels, and to help research to reduce the incidence of stillbirth.
Gary is hoping to raise £1,000 via his JustGiving page which has only recently been set up for the April event.
We wish Gary well for the event, and will be trying to keep up to date with his efforts as we get closer to the date!

Thank you for the donation and publicity. I will try and pop in once a week to give you an update on the training.
You’ve made an “Old Mossley Lad” very happy.
