Viola 💜

2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

Why we're doing the Ribbon Run

In July 2025, I gave birth to Viola. Despite a seemingly text book pregnancy there were things sadly missed during both my pregnancy and labour which led to our baby girl passing away one week after she was born. 
Sands support the parents, families and friends of babies lost to stillbirth and neonatal death. 

The Ribbon Run is a way to actively remember and honour our daughter Viola, and perhaps raise a small amount of money for Sands too

Please consider donating. 

If donating is not something you can do at the moment then please consider joining in with the Wave of Light which takes place later on during Baby Loss Awareness Week 

We’re taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

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.

Thank you to our Sponsors
