2026 Ribbon Run Manchester

I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

Hey everyone 

I am taking part in the 5k run I’m loving memory of my little boy Quinn. As many of you know Quinn was born premature and spent time both at home and in hospital. We got 26 precious days with Quinn and that is something I’m truly grateful for . I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run in Manchester which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week on Saturday 10 October 2026. I am taking part 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.

It’s a lovely thing you’re doing in Quinn’s memory. I lost my Son at 29 days old in a similar way. Sands is a wonderful charity. Best of luck with the run and please look after yourself x
