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.

Virtual 10K Ribbon Run

Friday 2nd Oct
On Saturday 10th October Emma and I will be taking part in the SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal death society) 10K Virtual Ribbon Run 

10 years ago our beautiful daughter Freya Rose Allen was born sleeping. We held her in our arms for a little while and will hold her in our hearts forever

We are taking part in the Virtual Ribbon Run to help raise funds to help support anyone affected by the death of a baby; improve the care bereaved parents receive; and create a world where fewer babies die 

In loving memory of Freya 🩷
