2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

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.

My reason

Thursday 10th Sep
Next month , I am running 15k to raise vital funds for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity. Every single kilometre is dedicated to my little sister, Jorjie, who was born sleeping in 2017.
When we lost Jorjie, our world shattered. Nearly a decade later, the love we have for her hasn't faded for a second. I am taking on this physical challenge to carry her memory forward, to keep saying her name, and to make her proud.
Sands does incredible work supporting grieving families when the unthinkable happens, while funding research to save babies' lives. No one should have to walk through this kind of darkness alone.
When my legs start to ache during those 15 kilometres, I’ll be thinking of Jorjie. She never got the chance to run, so I am running for her.
If you are able to donate, share my link, or simply cheer me on, it would mean the world to me and my family.
For the babies gone too soon, and most of all, for you, Jorjie.
