why am i doing this?
I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9-15 October).
I had a silent miscarriage (I hate the term 'missed miscarriage') - I did not even know it was a thing that could happen until it was happening. I underwent surgery in the summer of 2023. I feel lucky to have such an incredible support system who helped me navigate my thoughts and feelings around my pregnancy loss, but other people do not have family or friends who they can discuss heavy topics so openly.
I have a rainbow baby now, she's brilliant and amazing, but it was very soon after having the miscarriage. I used Sands' to help me navigate difficult feelings and anxieties throughout the pregnancy.
I want to raise money for a charity who help many people through really traumatic periods. I will be walking 10k with my daughter, my partner and my mum. Please donate or share xx
