I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

On Saturday 12th October me and Louis will be partaking in the still birth and neonatal deaths society (SANDS) Ribbon Run for Baby Loss Awareness Week. Any donations would be very appreciated 💜

As a healthcare professional working in the maternity ward, I've had the privilege of welcoming new life into the world. However, I’ve also witnessed the heartbreak that comes with loss. It’s an experience that no family should endure alone. 

That’s why I’m raising funds for SANDS. SANDS is a charity dedicated to supporting families who have experienced the death of a baby and provides vital resources and guidance to help families navigate their grief and find comfort during such a challenging time.

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps provide essential support services, including bereavement care and educational resources for healthcare providers. Your generosity can make a significant difference in the lives of families facing unimaginable heartache.

By sponsoring us, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives.

£3 - could provide a Sands birth certificate for a baby whose birth cannot be registered through a register office.

£10 - could provide a bereaved family with a support pack and resources when they need it the most.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.

£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.
