Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire Sands hosts 4k Starlight Walk in Tenby

THIS December, Carmarthenshire & Pembrokeshire Sands invites anyone who has lost a baby, or wishes to support those who have, to join a special 4k Starlight Walk in Tenby in their memory, lighting up the town with ‘lanterns of love’.

On Tuesday, December 8, there’s the chance to meet with a precious community, including Georgina Horton-Jones and her daughter as they tackle the walk on crutches and wheels in memory of Charlotte, Caderyn, Bodhi and Nathaniel.

“If the two of us can take on the gradients of the coast on wheels and crutches for our angels, we want to inspire people right across the Swansea, Carmarthenshire, and Pembrokeshire region to lace up their walking shoes and join us to support Sands.”

Sands is a charity that supports bereaved parents and family members who have experienced baby loss. Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire Sands’ Starlight Walk in Tenby - a special way to remember lost babies under a beautiful starry sky, creating meaningful connections along the way.

With 37 confirmed entrants so far, the organisers encourage signing up as soon as possible so participants are able to receive their starlight walk packs in time for the event.
