LETTER: Kind donation will help charity

We would just like to say a huge thank you to a very kind lady called Jan, who we met on Saturday May 27 whilst we were out walking.

My husband and I do long distant walking, and had set out on a 25 mile walk and have raised money for Sands on several occasions. This particular day we were out walking and we were wearing our Sands t-shirts. We had just crossed over the lock gates and about to go onto the prom, when we met Jan who was out walking her two dogs. She noticed our t-shirts and without thinking opened her purse and gave us £10 towards the Sands charity.

Sands stands for ‘stillbirth and neonatal death society’ and is very dear to my heart as I work as a midwife at East Surrey Hospital in Redhill.
