Showing your support.

This week is Baby Loss Awareness week (BLAW), a week commemorating the loss of children before or during birth. Throughout the week there are different events people can take part in to show their support.

The crew of Still Born show their support by wearing the Baby Loss Awareness badge, which we bought through the charity SANDS - Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity - but you can chose other charities through the Baby Loss Awareness website. We will wear this pin throughout the week to raise awareness for the issue and to show solidarity for families that have experienced the loss of a child.

There is also a London Walk Of Baby Loss Remembrance on October 10th, which James, Martinez and Onyedi will be attending. They will walk from Trafalgar Square to raise awareness for BLAW surrounded by other people and families supporting the cause. We suggest you go along, its a free event and we only recommend you buy a pin to show support.

Finally, on the last day of BLAW - October 15th - there is the Global Wave of Light. At 7pm we encourage you to light a candle and leave it burning for at least an hour, in memory of all the children lost too soon. There is also the digital Wave of Light, where you can post photographs of your lit candles to social media with the hashtag #waveoflight. The Wave of Light remembers all the babies that lit up lives for a short time.
