Thame-based Chrissy Portnall has raised £2059 for Sands Charity by completing a 13,000ft skydive.
Chrissy decided to raise money for Sands in memory of her 2 sons, who she sadly lost too soon. George was born at 16 weeks old on 4th October 2015 and Theodore was born at 19 weeks and 3 days on 25th August 2016.
Sands help to support bereaved families and save babies lives. Because of fundraisers, vital research can continue in helping to reduce the number of babies dying each day.
This is what donations mean to Sands:
£20 enables Sands to provide a memory box to parents so they can start making memories with their baby
£140 provides one full day of bereavement care training for healthcare professionals
£580 a day keeps their helpline open and free for every caller
£840 can sponsor an entire day of training for 20 midwives!
£1,500 is needed on average to run one local support group for a year
