I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9-15 October) 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.

Why I'm doing this.

Wednesday 9th Sep
Hi all, 
I've decided to do this as I've two beautiful nieces who never made it to term called Hope amd Ember and through watching my very close friends grieve this not once but twice I realised that I didn't know how to be there for them especially the first time. This caused me to distance myself especially after Hope and now I realise just how important having a designated worker there who does know when family and friends are at a loss.
I also see the need for memory boxes and one on one time with your baby after the birth.
This is why this cause is so important to me, the people who help our loved ones in such unimaginable times when we are so unsure how to help are the glue that keeps bereaved parents afloat. 
I hope you will sponsor me through this and thank you for reading!

Thank you to my Sponsors
