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.

Lilly, josh, ashton

Friday 7th Aug
**Lilly, josh, ashton 💜**

Lilly may not have stayed in my arms for long, but she will stay in my heart for the rest of my life.

Every day I carry her with me—in the quiet moments, in the milestones she should have been part of, and in the love that never fades. Losing a child changes you forever. You learn to smile while carrying heartbreak, and you discover a strength you never wanted to have.

Sands has been there for so many families facing the unimaginable, offering support, understanding, and hope when the world feels impossible to navigate. That's why every person who fundraises, donates, or takes part in events like the Sands 5K means so much to families like ours.

Lilly's life matters. She is loved, she is remembered, and she will always be part of our family.

For my beautiful daughter, always and forever. 

in memory of two beautiful little boys who will never be forgotten. 💙

For my beautiful nephew, **Ashton**.
For my friend's tammy and colin's beautiful boy, **Josh**.

 you will forever be in our hearts. Your lives mattered, your memories live on, and your names will always be spoken.

**Forever loved. Forever missed. Never forgotten.** 💙🦋
