Join us as we mark Baby Loss Awareness Week 2025 with a quiet, heartfelt Ribbon Run. We'll be walking or running the 5K parkrun route in honour of all babies gone too soon 💗💙

🎗️ You don't need to sign up unless you want to be officially timed (register at parkrun.org.uk if you do).
🎗️ Wear a pink or blue ribbon, or your Ribbon Run t-shirt if you have one.
🎗️ If you're doing a longer challenge, feel free to repeat the route — or walk at your own pace.

We ask everyone to be respectful of the official parkrun and avoid disrupting the volunteers or event team.

We're taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.

Sands exists to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support. 

By sponsoring us, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.

£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.
