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.

Team Challenge: January 2K a day

Tuesday 16th Dec
Carl Dinsmore and I are taking on the 2k a day for 31 days event to honour Tommy Edwards, my son, who was taken too soon on the 25th January 2025. 

This is a fresh challenge, one I’ve joined forces on and it means a huge amount to do another charity fundraiser with some help this time round. More so because it is the 1st Year Anniversary since we lost Tommy. And since, Tommy became a big brother to his sister Lily two weeks ago 🌈❤️

Please help us by donating as much as you can at this difficult time of the year. All donations help towards our target and help support bereaved families going forward. 

Or why not join us one day to show support.

Why I’m running…

Monday 2nd Jun
We lost our baby boy Tommy at 17/18 weeks due to a positive Edwards Syndrome diagnosis. The charity provides such wonderful support to families who have suffered loss, with so many different ways of helping deal with the grief of losing a child. We experienced all the wonderful things Sands does directly, and even though it’s a small way of showing gratitude by fund raising. Raising awareness is important for future families to get the same support when they deal with their own personal loss. 

For that, I am running the 5KM run for my boy 🧡💙
