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 my baby Elizabeth
Sunday 4th OctI’m so sorry. The memory of your husband holding your perfect little girl is heartbreaking.
I was told I couldn’t have children. On my second date with my husband, I told him, “If you want children, it won’t be with me.”
Then we fell pregnant, and our whole lives changed. We bought a house, settled down and started imagining our future. We were so excited.
I felt her move. My husband felt her too. Then, at just 24 weeks, my waters broke.
I remember giving birth, but the most heart-wrenching memory is seeing my husband holding her. She was perfect. Long limbs, dark hair. Our little girl. Our firstborn.
I had never felt love like it. And I had never felt loss like it.
😘😘😘
