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.

Leon

Monday 17th Aug
Our beautiful baby Leon,
He was born prematurely on 13/10/2025 and unfortunately passed away on 17/10/2025. He was only 4 days old. The impact on all of us was immeasurable. Our family, our friends. No one can understand the pain, the grief, the loss of losing a child. Even if you have been through it yourself, we all deal with it differently. Some seek support, others prefer to be alone. But even to be alone, you need support. That's where Sands comes in. 
I only found out about them recently. Their work in raising awareness and providing support to families.  Believe me, all of us need support at times. Times are hard, please donate whatever you can to support them, to support us.

Thank you to my Sponsors
