“[SANDS] are there to help pick up the pieces and support parents with bereaved children,” he added.
All of those taking part have had experiences similar to Mr Hofayz: “Earlier on this year my partner and I went through a miscarriage.
“Members of my team have lost children and my best friend’s child died in his arms in 2015,” said Matt Roberts.
“I decided to raise money for a charity who help bereaved parents and try to heal them,” he added.
SANDS also conducted research into how maternity and bereavement services could be improved and how deaths can be prevented.
“A lot of people are out there in the darkness and haven’t got any answers as to why [they lost a child] and all we can do is hope that we’re doing good things for the future and helping people that will inevitably go through this” he added.
