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.

In memory of Robin Skye Horton

Tuesday 27th Aug
I'm taking part in the 2024 Ribbon Run which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9 - 15 October). I'm doing this in memory of our Baby boy Robin who's first anniversary is not long after baby loss awareness week on the 1st November -I'm not sure where the time has gone but the Ribbon Run feels like a good way to honour Robin's memory and raise money for SANDs and all the babies lost too soon.

Baby Loss Awareness Week raises awareness of pregnancy and baby loss in the UK and culminates with the global 'Wave of Light' on 15 October at 7pm - We will be lighting our special candle for our baby boy Robin and look forward to seeing and being part of this years Wave of Light. 

Robin Skye Horton

Monday 29th Jul
We delivered baby Robin Skye Horton at 18 weeks in November 2023 - after weeks and weeks of excitement and plans, our world was tipped upside down and all our hopes were shattered.

I want to make my baby boy proud and so challenges like this one and the one we completed in February are for him as well as for helping and supporting my own mental health along this journey.

This is for you Robin xx
