Take on Challenge 13 by completing 13 miles, taking on 13 new activities or completing your own challenge in 13 days 

When Sands launched Challenge15 four years ago, we asked you to challenge the numbers by challenging yourself. We wanted you to help drive down the number of babies who die before, during and shortly after birth, and you did. Thanks to your amazing efforts you have helped reduce this number from 15 to 13.  

Because of you and the changes you have made possible,  at least 1,065 fewer babies have died. 

Whilst this progress is amazing, there is still so much more work to be done. Today in the UK, 13 babies will die before, during or shortly after birth and a further 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in loss. 

Every number represents a much wanted and dreamed-of baby and we must continue to challenge the numbers until every family gets to watch their baby grow up.  

We need to continue our work to save these babies and ensure they have the start to life that every family wishes for. Will you join us on this challenge to end the heartache of baby loss? 

Take on Challenge 13 in memory of these precious and wanted babies, and together we can create a world where fewer babies die.
