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.

For our beautiful Arya, and for every family who needs Sands

Saturday 3rd Oct
I’m taking part in the Sands Ribbon Run in memory of our beautiful daughter, Arya.

When we lost Arya, our whole world changed. Nothing can prepare you for the heartbreak of losing your baby or for trying to find a way through the days that follow. During the worst and darkest time of our lives, Sands was there for me.

They supported me endlessly. They gave me comfort when I desperately needed it and helped me feel less alone in a grief that can be incredibly isolating. I will never forget the support they gave me when our family needed it most.

That is why taking part means so much more to me than completing 5K. Every step I take is for Arya. It is a way of saying her name, honouring her life and carrying her memory with me. She will always be our daughter, always be part of our family and always be loved beyond words.

I’m also doing this so Sands can continue being there for other parents and families when the unimaginable happens. Their bereavement support helps families not only in those first devastating days, but through the weeks, months and years that follow. 

If the money I raise can help another grieving parent feel even a little less alone, then every step will be worth it.

For Arya. Always loved, always remembered, and with me every step of the way. 🤍
