We're getting our walking shoes on!

My daughter (my Rainbow Baby) and I are taking part in the SANDS Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October in memory of our beautiful Rhys Noah who would have been 15 years old now. Our goal is to raise £150 but anything over that would be amazing.

Please support us as we take on 10km 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.


Thank you in advance for your support.

We did it!!

Sunday 13th Oct
We did our 10k walk and raised £164. Unfortunately we didn't do the whole 10k in one day due to the weather being awful yesterday (12/10/24)  so we split it over the weekend but we managed to do just over the 10k goal. It was a mixture of emotions, sadness, grief but also happiness and joy because I had my rainbow baby walking with me and we were doing it for an amazing cause.

A massive thank you goes to everyone who sponsored us and donated to the cause.

Next is switching on our tea light for the Wave of Light on Tuesday 15th October at 7pm. Please join us in lighting up the world.

Until next year!

Today's the day!

Saturday 12th Oct
Later on today we will be putting on our Ribbon Run and SANDS t-shirts, wearing our trainers and walking our 10K. We have no route planned so we're just going to keep walking in all directions until we hit our target.

It's going to be a mixture of emotions but I know we can do this. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
