Bradford Midwife’s Fundraiser for Baby Loss Charity SANDS

The SANDS charity, which Mrs Key’s skydive will raise money for, helps the maternity unit at Bradford Royal Infirmary.

It offers a free memory box to every bereaved family so they can create and save their own memories of their child.

According to the charity, around 13 babies die shortly before, during or just after birth every day in the UK.

Mrs Key said: “All midwives are in an incredibly privileged position to join women and their families at what can be one of the most exciting and happiest times of their lives.

“However, not all babies come home – and some parents are left empty-handed.

“SANDS exists to reduce the number of children who die and to ensure that anyone affected by the death of a child receives the best possible care.”

Skydiving in September was “my way of showing my support for this incredible charity,” she said.

“I need to raise £470 but I’d like to raise a lot more.”
