A GROUP of 30 women are undertaking a sponsored walk today in aid of various stillbirth and neo-natal charities.

The women, who all have experience of natal bereavement, are setting off from York hospital at 9am to walk the 28 miles to Helmsley.

Natasha Poulton, 33, of Haxby, lost her son, Pea, at 20 weeks and is taking part in the walk to raise money for a new bereavement suite at York Hospital.

Her target was £500, but after reaching that, she set her sights on £1,000 - and has now smashed that total too. To donate search for Natasha’s page on Just Giving.
