2026 Ribbon Run Manchester

I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run in Manchester which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week on Saturday 10 October 2026. I am taking part for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

£20 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby.

£35 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.

£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.

In memory of Eleanor Rose

Monday 7th Sep
I am running the 10k Ribbon Run event in memory my daughter Eleanor Rose (born in 1995) and my grand child, Baby Cooper who we never got meet 🩷🤍
Eleanor Rose was born with Transposition of the Great Vessels. She was a beautiful gorgeous baby girl weighing 8lb 11oz. We were unaware of her heart condition until after she was born. She was cared for on Ward 30 at Glenfield Hospital. At 9 days old she had corrective surgery but sadly did not survive. It might be 31 years since I held you in my arms sweetheart but you will always and forever be in my heart 🩷 
I will be running this with her big sister Abigail and this will be her first 10k event in the world of running 🙌🏻
