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.

In memory of our son Leo
Sunday 24th AugHi everyone,
During Baby Loss Awareness Week, my wife, our family, and I are taking part in a 10K charity run to raise money for Sands, a charity that supports families after the loss of a baby.
When we lost our son Leo at 24 weeks in July, our hearts were broken. It’s a pain that never goes away. During this time of loss, Sands helped us create memories that we will cherish forever.
Thanks to their support, we were given a memory box filled with small but deeply meaningful items — like tiny knitted hats, bears, blankets, candles and a hand and footprint kit — which allowed us to make memories with him. This meant the world to us.
We know times are tough and money is tight for many, but if you’re able to donate anything at all, it would mean so much — not just to us, but to other families who will sadly walk a similar path.
Thank you for your support,
The Fitzgerald Family
