A Nottinghamshire dad has set up a football team which aims to "act as a support group" for men who have experienced baby loss. Raj Chagger, of West Bridgford, started Sands FC Nottingham in January, just over two years after the death of his son, Riaan.
His passing, aged seven months, drives the 36-year-old and his wife, Sharan, to raise money and awareness to help people come to terms with losing a young child. "He was the happiest baby ever, he was always smiling, nothing ever took a smile off his face and I think that's what motivates us," Mr Chagger told Nottinghamshire Live.
"With everything he had going on, the strength he had - we have to keep going for him now." Riaan died suddenly in November 2020.
