Not funny I'm afraid. 17 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth every day in the UK. Jacqui went on the Victoria Derbyshire show to talk about our experience of stillbirth as SANDS - the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society - are launching a campaign today.

I didn't realise there were those kind of numbers involved.
Edit, Sorry Horrific is maybe a bad choice of word maybe, very sad.

Something like 10% of all the icon donations go to the cause for a given period, or such?
How about an icon in support of the cause? It could be a sideline image compo.

So sorry.
Also Ba'anana's plan seems like a good one.
