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.

My reason 🩵

Monday 17th Aug
On the 31st October 2012 our families world turned upside down. We heard the words "I'm sorry there is no heartbeat" after a good 1st and start of the 2nd trimester I went to my antenatal appointment for a routine scan and check up and was delivered the news my baby had sadly passed away. On the 3rd November a beautiful tiny little boy was born perfect in every way 10 tiny fingers and toes and a cute button nose. James Cawkill.

After James's birth I came home from the hospital empty and at a total loss, through the dedication from an amazing charity SANDS my I wouldn't be the woman and mum I am today. As a family we can't thank them for the amazing work they do for not only bereaved parents but other family members. That's why I'm running in memory of James in support of SANDS as they truly are amazing.
