I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run
I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.
On Saturday 11th October, myself and my wife will be walking 10km to honour the existence of our baby Tommy.
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.

Father of an Angel Baby Boy
Wednesday 3rd Sep Our little baby boy Tommy was born sleeping on 31/3/2025 at 22 weeks + 4 days after finding out at 21 weeks he had no heart beat. He was perfectly formed with no genetic abnormalities. At our 20 week scan we found that he was measuring 2 weeks smaller than he should have been. Long story short, it appears that the cause of Tommy’s death was a mixture of my Wife having high blood pressure and an issue with the placenta not working as efficiently as it should have been.This is our first 2nd Trimester loss and we also suffered an early miscarriage back in 2013 at around 7 Weeks into the pregnancy.
Myself and my Wife Danielle/Mummy to Tommy, have decided to participate in our first ribbon race to honour Tommy’s existence and to raise some money to help give back to other families going through the same heart breaking experience. We have found that the Sands memory box, certificate of life and hand/foot prints are really comforting to have. Share
For a darling little Tommy xx
