I’m running 5K in Sands Ribbon Run for Seb
The 18th of August 2025 was the tenth anniversary of our first baby Sebastian's stillbirth.
I wanted to do something positive to mark this anniversary so I've signed up to take part in this years Sands Ribbon Run. I'm running 5K on Saturday 11th October.
I haven't run for a very long time, so this is certainly a challenge! I started my training on September 11th, so I'm aiming to go from couch to 5K in a month.
Please sponsor me if you can to raise money for this important charity and the wonderful work they do.
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.
