We’re taking part in Sands Ribbon Run for Summer

Little baby Summer, daughter of Lucy and Chris, was born sleeping at 27 weeks in March 2025. She was so wanted, so yearned for, and losing her broke all of our hearts.

Lucy and Chris have had to navigate the most painful and devastating loss imaginable, it’s beyond words. Their courage and strength have been awe-inspiring, a level of courage and strength that no one should ever have to draw on. 

Our hope is that we honour Summer’s memory and raise money to support others enduring this horrific journey, and hopefully play a small part in working towards preventing this happening to anyone else 💛

We carry Summer in our hearts every moment, and we also honour the many other pregnancy and baby losses that happen every day, particularly of those close to us xx


IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN OUR SENSATIONAL TEAM, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO WALK/RUN WITH US AND SHOW YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT! 
We'll be doing the Maldon Ribbon Run on Saturday 4th October at 8.45am.

We are overwhelmed by everyone's generosity so far, thank you so much, it means such a lot xx

Thank you to our Sponsors
