I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

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

Support me as I take on 5, 10 or 15km 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. It’s free to sign up and it’s up to you how you take part. You can run it, walk it, push it, or jog it; alone or with friends and family.

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

£3 - could provide a Sands birth certificate for a baby whose birth cannot be registered through a register office.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.

£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.

Loss

Thursday 29th Aug
I’m thanking everyone in advance for my donations.
After I lost my first baby to miscarriage I was over the moon to get to full term. Sadly it wasn’t meant to be and my baby girl Louise Constance was stillborn. No one can ever fully understand the feelings you have unless it’s happened to you. I do have 2 beautiful girls now , grown up with their own children. Unfortunately it hasn’t been easy sailing for them either. I have been walking or running for SANDS for 4 years even with MS and arthritic knees. It’s a struggle but I do it to remember and to help others have the help we all so need at this time. Please donate generously to this cause that is so close to my heart . 

Thank you to my Sponsors
