A GRIEVING mum and 120 of her family and friends have raised more than £3,400 for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity.

Mother-of-three Kelly Roberts, 30, from Barton, organised the pyjama walk across the Humber Bridge after her son Archie was delivered stillborn last August.

Following her loss, she threw herself into organising a fundraising event and husband Gareth and two of their children joined her in their pyjamas.

The result was a cheque for £3,487, which she has handed over to Scunthorpe General Hospital.

Kelly, who was 29 weeks pregnant when she realised something was not right, said: "I remember not being able to feel Archie and thought something was wrong, so we went to Scunthorpe General Hospital.

"Staff could not find a heartbeat and when our little boy was stillborn, we were put in contact with Sands.

"They gave us a box which had teddy bears, blankets and other items to remind us of him.

"The box is something we can keep forever and the support given to us by Sands has been incredible.

"If you take every emotion and times it by one million, it still doesn't show how I felt.

"I wanted to organise an event to raise awareness of Sands and raise money for the charity."
