I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

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

Sands exists to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support. 

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

£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.

Walking for Those Who Can't Walk Back

Wednesday 13th Aug
I’m honored to participate in the Ribbon Run, a 15km walk dedicated to the memory of those who have experienced pregnancy or baby loss. This journey is not just a physical one; it’s a symbolic step in honoring the lives that were lost too soon, and the families who continue to carry the weight of that grief.

Did you know that approximately 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage, and 1 in 160 pregnancies results in stillbirth? These statistics remind us that pregnancy and baby loss are more common than we often acknowledge—and that every family affected is grieving a profound loss.

Today, I walk for those who never had the chance to hold their babies. I walk for the parents who carry their love in their hearts, and for the children whose lives were cut short. Every step is a tribute to their memory, and every stride is a reminder that no one should ever have to grieve alone.

Thank you for your support as we raise awareness, offer support to grieving families, and remember those we’ve lost. Let's honor them together. 💜
