SANDS work tirelessly to provide support to families, training to professionals and contribute to much needed research, reducing the number of little lives lost.\u00a0 So if Victoria and Maela could continue to put one foot in front of another in their darkest hours then I would do the same.\u00a0 That is how we now find ourselves training for a mammoth event next year to walk continuously for 1<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
