I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run in Manchester this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.

Support me as I take on my distance in support of Sands, helping them to continue to build a world where more babies survive and more families receive the happy ending they deserve.

Ribbon Run is a sponsored run, walk or jog where thousands of people come together to remember their babies and raise funds for Sands.

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

£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.

Why this matters to us.

Monday 4th Aug
At least 1 in 6 pregnancies end in loss in the UK. Unfortunately, we have experienced the loss of two pregnancies in the last 12 months after trying for a baby for over 5 years now, and we have struggled a lot. But with the love and support of our amazing friends and family, as well as the help from charities like Sands, we continue to heal and we look forward to the brighter days that we still believe will one day come. 

If you’re able to, please give as little or as much as you can towards this incredible cause. Too often, the reasons for pregnancy and baby loss are not fully understood, and this lack of understanding makes it harder to prevent future heartbreak. Sands work with bereaved families, with healthcare professionals in supporting bereaved families and, most importantly, they are a big part of the research in helping academics and clinicians to understand why babies die and how maternity care can be improved.
