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.

A little about me.

Monday 7th Sep
Hi everyone, my name is Amy and I’m 27 from West Yorkshire. I’ll be taking part this year in the sands 5k ruin in Manchester on the 10th of October, due to this charity being very close to my heart. Since December 2025 I’ve had to say goodbye to 3 of my sweet angels who unfortunately didn’t make it earth-side, my most recent being the 29th of August just gone. my heart my soul feel empty and I feel this is the least I can do to try and help raise awareness for pregnancy and baby loss and how much it affects families and especially women’s lives. Anything raised will go straight to the sands charity and I’d love it if anyone could come and support me on the day. I’ve never done anything like this before, but I feel it so deeply in my heart. Thankyou for taking the time to read and for everyone taking part this year, you are all absolutely amazing and I’m so proud of you  ❤️
