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.

Saturday 8th Aug❤️ Our Story ❤️
In May, we found out we were pregnant, and we were the happiest we had ever been. We were so excited to meet our little baby and were looking forward to our 12-week scan.
At 10 weeks, I started experiencing some bleeding, so we decided to book a private scan to make sure our baby was okay. At the scan, we were told our baby was measuring just 6 weeks and, heartbreakingly, there was no heartbeat.
It was one of the worst experiences of our lives. We were told not to worry just yet and to come back for another scan a week later to see if our baby had grown.
Sadly, at the next scan, everything was still the same. Our baby was still measuring 6 weeks and there was still no heartbeat. We were then told that we had suffered a missed miscarriage.
We had hoped to let things happen naturally, but in the end I had to have a D&C on 30th July. 💔
Going through a miscarriage is something we never imagined we would have to experience. It has been incredibly difficult, and we are still trying to process everything and find a way to come to terms with what has happened. But through it all, we have had each other and the love and support of our amazing family and friends. ❤️
We are taking part in the Ribbon Run to help support this incredible charity and, hopefully, help other families who are going through the heartbreak of pregnancy and baby loss.
No family should have to feel alone during such an incredibly difficult time. If taking part in the Ribbon Run can help even one family feel supported, then it means so much to us. ❤️
For our beautiful baby, who will always be loved, always be remembered and forever be a part of our family. 🤍👣
