June was National Sands Awareness month and as part of this we held a
Footprints Walk. This was the brilliant idea of Roxanne Sawyer in memory of her
little boy Rhys. On 23rd June
around 30 members of the group and family and friends braved the rain to walk
around Coate Water Park. This was a wonderful group effort, it was good for
everyone to come together and wearing Sands t-shirts and balloons we raised
awareness of the group.
There were quite a few people who came up to the group to ask what it
was for, several who had lost babies and didn’t know we existed. So whilst it
is always heartbreaking to learn of little babies being lost, it is good that
new people can benefit from the support and friendship of the group.
