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.

£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.

Tuesday 8th Sep

During Baby Loss Awareness Week, I’ll be taking on a 10K in support of Sands, a charity that provides vital support to families affected by the devastating loss of a baby.


This is a cause that is incredibly close to my heart. I’m doing this 10K in memory of two very special little babies who will always be loved and remembered.

Jack, the beautiful baby boy of my best friend Emma, who was heartbreakingly lost at full term.


And James, the precious little baby of my other best friend Carrie, who was sadly lost during her first trimester.


I have seen two of the people I love most experience a heartbreak that no parent should ever have to face. While I could never take that pain away, I can stand beside them, remember their babies, and do something to help other families who find themselves facing the unimaginable.


So, every step of these 10 kilometres will be for Jack and James. 💙


For their mums, their families, and every family affected by baby loss.


They may not be here in our arms, but they will always be remembered, always be loved, and always matter.


10K. Two precious little boys. One very important cause.


In loving memory of Jack & James. 🤍
